Leggo my Lego!

Legos have been inspiring kids since 1916. 

Arguably 100% of male engineers and 23% of female engineers built their first bridge out of legos. (Now that there are pink legos the female statistics are predicted to increase.)  

Young Basil, before deciding if he'll become an engineer or a developer, contemplates building a high-rise out of environmentally friendly legos 

For future architects however Lincoln Logs are the building toy of choice (first structures by toy are 62% Lincoln Logs, 22% Tinker Toy with just 10%  Legos and the balance being soup cans). For budding Landscape Architects there was just sticks from the backyard.

Legos are now the latest, greatest planning tool in the Hamlet. The Tualatin Loop Neighborhood Association used legos and maps to show graphically how many houses are in the neighborhood now, 

A typical lot in Tualatin Loop now

and how many will be there if Metro requires densification infill to to occur at the current suggested levels of 4,12 or 25 per acre.

This presentation has been so insightful and useful that it's now being replicated at other Neighborhood meetings - Ashdown, Vineland and Childs are among the first to sign up. If you'd like to see how this works, attend one of these meetings!
