While its not possible to actually build an impossible structure with LEGOs, it might be possible to create a structure that (when viewed from the appropriate angle) would recreate the illusion. We already proved this many times, but if you are new to this site – be sure to check LEGO tag. You’ll quickly realize Henry Lim wasn’t the first individual with an idea to reproduce M.C. Escher’s works in LEGO, but can his results be among the best? This is where you come in to share your views. In September 2005, Henry was commissioned by the Hong Kong Science Museum to sculpturally recreate a series of Maurits Cornelis Escher lithographs. It was important that there should be no photographic manipulation involved – the impossible objects should be approximated via optical illusions. It took Henry about a month to build (and rebuild with glue) all four sculptures.

Incredibly awesome
just takes the right angle from which to take the picture from… but building it (and visualizing which angles to use) is a massive job, I’d imagine… gotta give props to the guy…
wow…must have taken a lot of work…plus you can see that it isn’t impossible to uild either with the right type of lego…
Wonderfull!!!
Well, someone was bound to do it!
(Next comes sheet metal, acrylic and LEDs) :P
It’s nice but again, this is NOT an illusion.
The waterfall isn’t as good… you can see the seams…
