The Global Movement of LEGO Repairs
Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.

Street Artist Näutil
By näutil in Saint-Pierre-Église, France.I was born and raised where lots of blockhaus was already there, but without tag or street art on it. They was like enormous rock virgin and at my 14 years old, we started, me and friends, to graff on it, to be proud or ashamed if it was not enough inventive or nice, well it’s like someone who started to learn walking among other who are too, it was fun, interesting, challenging and poetical too. – näutil

Street art has change my life step by step because I started to realize that I was able to realize kind of a dream, well, a strong inner project: it was possible for me to ‘’move’’ people in both ways: poetically (well I hope so at least time to time) and geographically. – näutil
On of my favorite anecdote : a kid was inside the blockhaus where I have painted a big elephant (7 meter high) and then his father was calling him and he answer “wait dad, I’m inside the elephant, I’m coming !”. Well, it is very rewarding to provoke that kind of poetry, to help kids or people to reconnected themselves with little small thing that make souls and desires happy or filled. – näutil
