LEGO used to represent information

3D has been used effectively to represent data. This cartogram is a very effective representation of geographic data using LEGO. The map shows emigration or immigration numbers per country. The volume of LEGO bricks IN EACH COUNTRY represents the number of people who moved to or from the country.

LEGO can be used to represent timelines, projects, lots of ideas.

Information representation is best kept simple, and colour is powerful.
LEGO bricks are simple colourful modular units that lend themselves well. What could you do with them?
