# LEGO Cityscapes Christoph Niemann's 'I LEGO N.Y.' Book is a Bricktacular Tribute to the Big Apple By Michael Hines | Published 2010-03-20 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-lego-n-y References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/spotlight/2010/03/18/i-lego-n-y-by-christoph-niemann/) & [christophniemann](http://www.christophniemann.com/) I love these photos from Christoph Niemann's new book, 'I LEGO N.Y.' Usually when it comes to LEGOs, bigger is better. Well 'usually' just got turned upside down, my friends. 'I LEGO N.Y.' is a series of photos with some pretty funny captions written in to explain what the hell is going on and teach us to smile again. I strongly urge you to at least click the link and check out Christoph Niemann's site. If you like what you see you should pick up the book as well. I'm just saying. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **LEGO Cityscapes:** Creating LEGO Cityscapes could become a trend with potential opportunities in the toy and architectural industries. - **LEGO Art:** Creating LEGO artworks as a tribute to popular cities or landmarks could become a trend, with potential opportunities in tourism, art galleries, and souvenir industries. - **LEGO Storytelling:** Using LEGO pieces to tell stories, such as those in 'I LEGO N.Y.', could become a trend with potential opportunities in the publishing and toy industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Industry:** Integrating LEGO Cityscapes or LEGO storytelling in novel ways could bring disruptive innovation opportunities in the toy industry. - **Tourism Industry:** Capitalizing on creating LEGO artworks as tourist souvenirs could bring disruptive innovation opportunities in the tourism industry. - **Publishing Industry:** Incorporating LEGO storytelling or publishing LEGO cityscape books could bring disruptive innovation opportunities in the publishing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [City-Focused Postcard Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-series.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md) - [Block Puzzled Book Nooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-book-nook.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [NYC-Inspired Structural Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc.md) - [Nightclub Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-jazz-club.md) - [Nature-Inspired Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seven-natural-wonders-of-the-world.md) - [Buildable 3D Superhero Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set.md)
