[kevnihsh] Pascal triangle sculpture

Create 3D art depicting Pascal's triangle.  A set of towers in a triangular grid, with each tower representing a number.  Each tower is colored with horizontal bands, expressing its number in binary with least significant bit on top, so if viewed from above, the Sierpinski triangle pattern.  The height of each tower is the number of bits required to express each number, roughly log 2.

Could be done with LEGOs.
