Lego: Milwaukee's Miller Park, Complete With A Working Retractable Roof
Built by Tim Kaebisch, a student at Milwaukee School of Engineering, where it is on display thru the end of August 2008. An excerpt from an interview with the web site Home Run Derby:
HRD: Did you have blueprints or schemes to work from?
TK: There was nothing like that out there. So it was mostly trial and error. I started with the roof before anything else.HRD: Is it all made entirely of Lego?
TK: It’s 99% Lego materials. There’s some light string and twist ties in there. The electronics are all from Lego Mindstorm. ...HRD: What’s your major at MSOE?
TK: I’m a Junior majoring in Architectural Engineering, specializing in Environmental Engineering, which includes HVAC, plumbing and fire protection. I’ll graduate in May 2009.
Do you think he'll have any trouble finding a job? Me neither. By the way, Home Run Derby has a great page of other Lego ballparks as well. (via Cold Spring Shops)
