Gizmodo reports that the new world record for Lego constructions was built in Vienna measures up at 96.73 feet (29.485 meters) and at 460,000 bricks.
The photos are interesting. Of course, it makes my engineering gene kick in and wonder what the largest free-standing lego structure is (this was supported at multiple points in the structure by tethers (to ensure it didn’t blow over during or after construction) and what would be the optimal architecture in lego components to ensure maximum stability.
Perhaps I should call my friend Scott and see what he has to say on the topic.
