Designer Pedro Neves sparked an international project called “A2Z” by using LEGO bricks to create letterforms. While studying design, he was inspired by a seminar that tasked students with making an alphabet from modular components. Now, as a faculty member at the University of Illinois Chicago, he led a graduate course focused on modularity in typography, finding LEGO an ideal medium due to its grid-based structure and diverse shapes. This setup allowed students to explore creativity within defined parameters. Neves expanded the project globally, inviting 36 designers from six continents to contribute unique letterforms. They were provided LEGO sets to experiment with, using a limited palette based on CMYK colors (aqua, red, yellow, purple, and green) selected from Pantone. Each designer crafted their piece, like Eunice Chong's “R,” which reflects Singapore’s cultural heritage through floral designs inspired by local tile patterns. The culmination of their work was a publication titled A2Z: Learning Through LEGO® and Letterforms and an exhibition at the Design Museum of Chicago. The production involved significant effort, utilizing over 8,000 bricks and requiring 27,000 printing passes. Neves, along with project producer Amira Hegazy and assistant Shannon Morrissey, spent eight months bringing the designs to life through a large press. The exhibition features both the LEGO constructions and their letterpress prints, offering a tangible glimpse into this creative intersection of design and play.
