Architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s most iconic building, the Fallingwater house, a seamless blend of man, water and nature, is now available to select groups of overnight guests who will be given an exclusive, extensive tour of the home with the premises entirely to themselves. In the decades since the opening of Fallingwater, the home has been a must visit for the architect’s fans. See Fallingwater.org for more.
LEGO® Architecture proudly pays tribute to Fallingwater
As an aside, LEGO now has an architecture series, including a special Fallingwater set.
“This model underwent a total of 14 design concepts as it incorporates a unique “pull-apart” interactive feature. We wanted to express the dynamic nature of Fallingwater; with this in mind I was able to have sections of the model slide out. The design challenge was in figuring out how to cleverly disguise, in an almost puzzle-like design where the model comes apart without distorting one of Mr. Wright’s most recognizable achievements. Another design concern was how to carefully balance the playful nature of the river, waterfall, woods, and bridge that embrace and define Fallingwater. These subtle details give Fallingwater context, without which it would not be possible to truly illustrate its beautiful, sensitive and thoughtful design.”
- Adam Reed Tucker, LEGO designer
