The micro-city worked on by minifigs really puts the size into perspective it looks big, but it is actually very tiny.
Jeff took advantage of lots of little pieces and accessories with interesting designs like binoculars, frying pans, gears, clips, wheels, propellers, lightsaber hilts, and jackhammers. Just to show that even though the end result looks carefully planned, the design process is actually a mixture of experimentation, vision, and happy little accidents (as Bob Ross would say).Ĭontinuing to progress into the future, the city above is from the distant future, with even more modern, almost alien shapes. He says that “it was like chicken scratches slowly taking the form of a balanced drawing”. Over time, the haphazard constructions evolved into what you see here. Jeff shares that he gathered in a pile all the curved pieces he had, and just started putting them together. Jeff also built a couple of fully futuristic cities, using mostly white and turquoise rounded shapes, surrounded by some green pieces to represent landscaping. Also, don’t miss the tiny trains both on the overhead bridges and underground! Notice that many of the structures are simply stacked plates, but because of the careful choice of colors and some decorations, they really come alive. They all feature a central canal with a suspension bridge, surrounded by high-rise buildings. The next three vignettes are variations of similar cityscapes, with a mix of both classic and modern style architecture. Once creating the loops of the highway, the city naturally grew around it. Jeff said he first saw the new tiles in the LEGO lettering contest by New Elementary (see: Lettering with LEGO Using New Tile Shapes), and he immediately imagined them as elevated highways in a micro-scale city. The futuristic city on the first picture above was built on a 20×20 stud base, and was inspired by the new curved tile pieces. I was so impressed with Jeff’s creations, that I thought to share some of them with you here as well.
Recently, the BrothersBrick featured the work of LEGO fan Jeff Friesen (see: Time to Travel to Beautiful Cityscapes), who is not just a master of micro-building, but an expert at using shape and color. And, of course, there are many examples of micro-building from the LEGO fan community.

LEGO themselves runs a series of tutorials for building on a small scale (see links at the end of this post), and the LEGO Architecture line is a good example of what can be achieved on a small scale with relatively few pieces. Micro-building doesn’t require having a lot of parts, but it is more about thoughtful placement and clever usage of the pieces you already have. This is one of the reasons I like to regularly feature examples of micro-building with LEGO.
