Buildings rise in the city brick by brick.
Landmarks are made of LEGOS at an exhibit on display in Brooklyn for the next week.
The creator, Jonathan Lopes, worked in New York City in the 1990s. Music and art originally bought him to town. He picked up a LEGO set one day and it provided some inspiration.
Now he creates giant sculptures from the plastic blocks.
For the next week, you can see his work at City Point, a food, shopping and entertainment center in Downtown Brooklyn.
He has a book coming out called "New York City: Brick by Brick."
