Had the same reactions. I was like "this isn't pushing any limits" and I was about to click to a new video when he flipped it and we saw the bend. Then I was like "Impressive. MOST Impressive."

I kept telling myself "I feel like I'm witnessing some kind of forbidden LEGO building technique" after I saw the model start to take on a curvature. Once it was finished, I half-expected it to shudder, hover a foot off of the table, and start humming and rotating on all axes with ever-increasing speed while glowing ever-brighter and telepathically bestowing arcane knowledge in some long-forgotten language.

My favorite part of this video is how the first thing you do is take a bunch of hinges--pieces that are actually meant to bend--and lock them into a triangle so they can't move.

I like how you fulfill everyone's deep desire to see it spin every time you add layers to it

You are completely correct about the geometric properties of the whole object.

Go to 9:34 in the video and tell me there isn't a pentagonal hole there.

The thing is, none of our beliefs need changing, because we're both right - you about the macro geometric properties of the overall object; me about the presence of small pentagons (and equilateral triangles, it must also be said) emerging as a consequence of the building method. We were looking at different aspects of the object. I just don't think you realised I was looking at the negative space.

James May, a British TV host, did a build a full size LEGO house. It was eventually torn down but it did exist for a few years.

Not generally into Lego, but this is video as a whole is an amazing piece of art. The progressive geometry, color scheme and ingenious technical design of the structure, but also the video editing, pacing and sound recording. Everything was fucking perfect, even the switch to a playful tone in the end! I was genuinely glued to the screen!

As soon as I saw the twenty triangular figures, I knew roughly where this would be going (well, I expected it would have icosahedral symmetry), and was excited to see it come together. Love the rhombic triacontahedron! Really awesome build.

This needs to be put into a museum or something honestly, you’ve earned yourself a sub mate.

Doing this with 2x1s with handles and horizontal clips would be awesome. Making plates to cover the holes and make a "perfect" sphere 👀

What is cool is that you actually found a way to curve the assembly thanks to the play between the bricks and not by bending them. The construction is incredibly nice and well designed. I really feel like looking at art.

I know it's well within mechanical tolerances, and that those tolerances are in fact what makes this possible (hence lots of small pieces) but man the sounds make me shutter. Also, this thing looks like it'd have a rapid unscedualed disassembly if you even looked at it sideways, but it's pretty!

I love how you create tension and compression layers to withstand the torsion, you basically replicated composite materials.

I like the way there's no background music... just the sound of clicking and creaking.

Holy shit. How does THAT rate on the tension scale? This may be my favorite one yet.

A spherical rhombic triacontahedron! What a beautiful shape! And very clever engineering on those 5-way joins; the hinges are loose and flexible to make connections easier, but as the shape builds those hinges are pulled tight by the tension to form perfect pentagons at each intersection!
