The German education system is in a sorry state. Budget cuts are forcing the administrators of the Humboldt University to replace their crumbling walls by Lego stones, slowly creating a front comprised entirely of plastics. On the one hand, this will make for a much more colourful educational experience, on the other, it will be somewhat less dignified than learning in those beautiful Gründerzeit buildings that still adorn Berlin-Mitte here and there amidst all the modernistic shoe-boxes… UPDATE: This is a project by Jan Vormann

The little lego man turns thirty! The site Gominimango celebrates this with games, t-shirts, a competition and a very fun film to commemorate the occasion. It can even be watched in 3D, if you have a pail of bichromatic glasses lying around... But it is a lovely tribute to something that som many of us remember fondly from childhood days, or with regret at giving our lego away... Created by the Lobos, hopefully using stop-motion animation.
