Designer Reza Aliabadi from Atelier RZLBD creates 100 unique De Stijl compositions using only 24 LEGO bricks of various sizes and colors. This project reflects the principles of the De Stijl art movement, focusing on geometric abstraction and primary colors. Aliabadi emphasizes how imposed constraints allow for creativity by balancing predictability with variation. Each composition responds uniquely to a common underlying structure, reinforcing that creativity thrives within defined boundaries. The series contributes to RZLBD's exploration of iterative works and highlights the interaction between form and spiritual freedom intrinsic to De Stijl.
The constraints imposed by the limited materials create a tension between predictability and variation, between system and spontaneity. Much like a cartographer's grid, these compositions are born of both discipline and play.
Each arrangement in the series is a unique response to the same underlying structure, demonstrating how the system itself becomes the creative force that drives innovation within its boundaries.
