Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater
In 2008, the LEGO Architecture line was launched. The line currently consists of six buildings, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater®. The LEGO models have been developed in collaboration with architects and aim to inspire the next generation of architects, engineers and designers. What better way to learn the ins-and-outs of a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece than to build your own replica?
“Mr. Wright’s buildings are a treasure trove of possibilities,” says Adam Reed Tucker, innovator of the Architecture Series for The LEGO Group. “I wanted to create these marvelous buildings for years, so I’m thrilled to be working with the Foundation in order to include Mr. Wright’s timeless buildings in this series, which conceptualizes the very essence of each building in LEGO bricks.” Read more about the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection® LEGO Architecture sets at Prairie Mod.
