内容简介
Brick City is a celebration of the world's favourite buildings and urban icons, recreated solely using LEGO bricks.
While to many, LEGO bricks are 'just a toy', to an ever-growing army of fans they provide a challenging and enjoyable modelling medium.
These fans, calling themselves 'AFOLs', or Adult Fans of LEGO, have taken it upon themselves to recreate local landmarks using just the bricks that you may find at a local store.
LEGO models created by adult fans, however, don't resemble those that many people created as a child. Created by masters of their medium, these fabulously detailed models may contain thousands of pieces - or perhaps just a handful. Either way, the talented artists have an intimate knowledge of every piece and colour available. Skilfully choosing the ideal piece to recreate a well-known landmark, they may create a model indistinguishable from the real thing, or evoke the spirit of a building in just a few small pieces.
In fact, landmarks and cityscapes - from the New York skyline to the Sagrada Familia, London's St Pancras and the amazing towers of Beijing and Hong Kong - have long been a source of inspiration for LEGO builders.
In this book, LEGO artist Warren Elsmore takes us on a world tour and explores more than 30 global cities and their iconic structures. Below are just some of many cities featured: San Francisco Las Vegas New York City Rio de Janeiro Lisbon Edinburgh London Barcelona Paris Venice Rome Stockholm Prague Moscow Cape Town Tokyo Sydney And many more... Each city is examined and recreated in LEGO form. Comprising amazing artwork, exploratory photographs and detailed breakdowns, Brick City looks at the essence of what makes an urban landscape recognizable.

于是,各种解释涌现出来。一些神秘主义者提出一个耸人听闻的看法,他们认为这一代孩子已进化到具有超时空的心灵感应功能;一些精神病学者则提出一种“高速飞行狂想症”。直到第一代“蝗群”中有的成员已成长为学者时,才对“蝗灾”提出了符合事实的解释。“不是什么心灵感应,而是社会感应;没有什么'高速飞行狂想症',高速掠过城市的都是些健康的孩子,正因为他们健康,所以他们闷得难受,他们想飞。”一位曾经是“蝗群”成员的青年社会学家一针见血地指出。
