youtube user talapz has built this LEGO diorama of the kinkaku-ji zen buddhist temple in kyoto, japan. made from 4,500 bricks the diorama functions like a pop-up book. closed, it appears like the packaging of a LEGO box, but as it is opened the 3D-form of the temple unfolds.

the video is a bit boring, but quite impressive to see how the diorama is built and functions.
