soniaI saw someone mention that M.C. Escher's work is in the public domain now! And even before that, Andrew Lipson was creating lego models of some of his work. He takes a picture of his constructions at the precise angle to duplicate the art, and also shares "behind the scenes" images of how he made it work.
Relativity - a physically possible structure, but with people inhabiting it with three different versions of "down."
Ascending and Descending - monks ascending and descending an impossibly circular stairway.
Balcony - a fisheye image of an intricate set of buildings.
