Fans wanting to fully experience the world of LEGO are sure to marvel at this newly-revealed hometown headquarters – the whole complex is being build up like a giant stack of interlocked bricks.

Designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) and set to be built in Billund, Denmark, the structure will have displays, cafes and shops surrounded by a public square.

Between interior and exterior areas, the completed project will have close to 10,000 square meters of programmed and open space, and its creators anticipate 250,000 annual visitors.

The building will showcase past, present and near-future LEGO designs, but also artwork made from LEGOs and other cultural phenomena beyond its original uses.

Five years ago, who would have thought that what started as an offbeat visual culture weblog would turn into a full-fledged (but still and always free) cosmopolitan online magazine? After just half of a decade, WebUrbanist now has over five hundred thousand feed and email subscribers, not to mention over a million monthly visitors.

The constant curiosity of authors (including Delana, Marc, Stephanie and Steve,, with Kurt as executive editor) and ongoing diligence of developers (Jeff and Mike) has been crucial, of course. Still, at the end of the day, it would all come to nothing without you, the readers, RSS subscribers, Twitter followers, Facebook fans and Pinterest friends supporting these efforts. Your ongoing help sharing our stories with friends via email, blog posts, StumbleUpon and Reddit has been essential in building WebUrbanist’s audience and is much appreciated.

Much has happened over this long-yet-short period of time, including multiple major redesigns of the publication, from the underlying code to numerous iterations its layout and logo. We hope this ongoing evolution seems fitting, though, since the core topics we cover – architecture, art, design, travel and technology – all revolve around creative exploration, iteration and (re)invention.

For anyone new to the site – or at least its latest redesign – we recently re-categorized every single article in the archives. Each individual past post can now be found under exactly one of five main sections (per the paragraph above) as well as one of twenty-five subcategories , linked in various ways on every page, including via a new drop-down menu on the sidebar. We hope this helps make the ever-larger annals more accessible to new and existing readers alike. Thanks again for your patronage – now onto the next five years!

According to Wikizine, Wikimedia Foundation websites bring in an astonishing estimated 7 billion+ page views per month between Wikipedias and other Wikimedia pages. This means that for each of the 1.1 billion individuals on the planet who use the internet, Wikimedia sites get an average of five page views per month. It would also mean that there are more monthly page views than there are people on Earth.

Wikipedia, the most well-known Wikimedia site accounts for only a fraction of this traffic. Wikinews, Wikisources, Wikiquotes, Wiktionaries and 700+ other Wikimedia projects also contribute to this amazing page view statistic. If all of these were counted as one by Alexa, chances are the Wikimedia Foundation would outdo Wikipedia’s already incredibly high Alexa rank. In other words, if this series of sub-communities were to be treated as a whole it would likely constitute the largest and most visited online ‘world’ in the world!

Of course, Wikipedia has spawned a number of interesting offshoot, knock-off and parody communities such as the Uncyclopedia, a content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit with strange pages on a variety of subjects, real and fake. This site is somewhere between a spoof of Wikipedia and a take-off on fake news producers like The Onion. Of course the Uncyclopedia is one of a great number of official and unofficial Wikis on all kinds of subjects.
