The LEGO Group believes that inspiring the creative skills of the next generation is critical, and with its Rebuild the World Campaign, it is celebrating how kids of all ages build, unbuild and rebuild the limitless world of their imaginations with LEGO creations, whilst also enabling others to see the world through their eyes. 

The designs saw schools transformed with stairs being replaced with slides in schools, spas introduced as a space for teachers to relax and monster truck shows put on twice a week as entertainment. 

An overarching theme across many of the builds saw indoor and rooftop gardens installed to bring nature to urban spaces, to encourage wildlife and enhance mindfulness in the workplace. Many of the builds also incorporated innovative energy solutions including solar panels and mechanisms to collect rainwater for more sustainable living.

The results come as a result of a brainstorming session held with 60 pupils from the London-based school, which was facilitated by architect Dara Huang and LEGO Play Agent David Pallash. Their designs and concepts were brought to life using only LEGO bricks and their creativity, before being transformed into real life community building plans.

“Seeing the brick builds the children created really opened my eyes to the amazing creative solutions they naturally come up with, and how that thinking can be applied to the real world. With my own work, I feel inspired to think differently and with fewer barriers or constraints,” said Dara Huang, architect and founder of DH Liberty.
