Brynjar Karl Birgisson, who is on the autism spectrum, made international headlines when he integrated his love for LEGO and his fascination for the most famed ship to build what’s now known as the world’s largest replica of the Titanic made out of LEGO.
Hailing from Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, Brynjar, who is commonly known as the “Lego boy,” was just 10 years old when he set his mind to build the 6.33-meter-long model, which took 56,000 LEGO bricks, more than 700 painstaking hours and 11 months to complete. However, the resulting masterpiece became his “lifeline to independence,” creating a positive impact on him.
