3. OK, it's cool. Up to a point.

Ruins look good in their gray and brown and rust colors.

A little bit of infill with colorful plastic bricks is cute, clever, in that first year NYU art school student sort of way.

But then it's just so much over-colored processed petroleum mucking with what's beautiful and ought to stop.

Please stay away from Bologna.

4. And then after some time, the lego comes loose, and

adds to the plastic debris in the world. Nope, we don't need that.
It would be better if she took a trowel and some stucco/cement.

5. Are Lego's water tight?

If they don't keep the water out then they help keep the cracks and holes from drying out. This will end up speeding up the damage to the walls and monuments.
