More than 500,000 LEGO bricks were used to build models of iconic skyscrapers for Towers of Tomorrow with LEGO Bricks, an interactive exhibition now on view at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science through April 24.

International landmarks include the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Barangaroo Hotel Crown Resort in Sydney, the Infinity Tower in Brisbane, the CN Tower in Toronto, the Tokyo Skytree in Tokyo, and the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. “It gives a little passport to the world,” Chavez said.

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore has a skypark that resembles a boat perched on top of sloping towers. Creating the banana-shaped curves with rectangular 26,400 LEGO bricks was McNaught’s greatest challenge. McNaught’s team decided to build the model of the Petronas Towers in Malaysia upside-down because they wanted the studs facing downwards so the glass bricks appear clean and sharp. It took the team 360 hours to build the model.
