Description

What’s better than celebrating a decade of tech, community, and innovation? Doing it with bricks, of course. This MOC recreates the Porto Tech Hub 10-year anniversary logo, built with love, pride, and a serious passion for clicking things together.

Porto Tech Hub has spent 10 years growing a tech community in the city of Porto, sparking conversations through meetups, insightful podcast episodes, and their flagship annual conference. It’s a space where developers, designers, and tech lovers come together to share knowledge, explore ideas, and keep pushing forward.

This LEGO interpretation pays tribute to that energy. The design captures the dynamic visual identity of the 10-year mark—featuring a bold “1” and a cleverly built “0” with a twist: the bottom half is flipped upside down. It’s a subtle nod to creativity, clever problem-solving, and the unexpected journeys in both tech and LEGO building.

To Porto Tech Hub—thanks for inspiring a decade of ideas, connections, and passion. Here’s to building many more.

About Me

Hello there! I’m Eduardo Sousa, the builder behind Bird Brick Builds.

I’m an Electronics Engineer by trade, a tech enthusiast by profession, and a LEGO creator by passion. My journey with the brick started in the golden era of the 80s and 90s. While other kids were building houses, I was obsessed with the mechanical complexity of Technic and the futuristic frontiers of Classic Space.

My childhood was defined by the neon-orange saws of Ice Planet 2002, the pulsing lights of Space Police, the magnetic mysteries of M:Tron, and the underwater adventures of Aquazone. That early fascination with how things work and how they click together is exactly what led me to my career in engineering.

I should mention that I am mildly color-blind, which makes my choice of colors for some MOCs an adventure of its own. If you ever see a build with a “unique” color scheme, now you know why—it looked perfectly logical to me!

After a long “Dark Age,” the spark returned in April 2022. A friendly challenge from the marketing team at my company (Fabamaq) to build the company logo in LEGO unlocked a new level of creativity. I realized I could use my engineering mindset to design my own models.

Since then, I’ve been on a mission to turn nostalgia, pop culture, and tech into brick reality. From retro arcade game characters and iconic movie props to personalized Brickheadz and community tributes, I build what I love.

While I do sell premium instructions on Rebrickable to support my hobby, I will always try my best to provide a free version here on this website. This is my way of giving back to the community where I found so much inspiration and learned the techniques I needed to evolve as a builder.

This site is my digital gallery and workshop. Here, you’ll find my MOCs (My Own Creations), high-quality building instructions, and the stories behind every build.

Thanks for stopping by. Now, let’s build something awesome!
