LEGO Mapping
LET THERE BE MAPS.
This page presents a collection of my LEGO-style mapping projects. They began as small experiments driven by curiosity. Before 2024, I had never considered LEGO a serious cartographic medium. I was interested in whether familiar building blocks could represent landscapes and geographic phenomena in an engaging way.
Over time, the projects developed in two main directions. Many focus on topographic maps, using LEGO forms to suggest topography and bathymetry. Others are thematic maps that explore political, urban, transportation, or symbolic topics. The works appear as physical built models or digitally rendered images, depending on scale, intent, and context.
