I'm back with a new Archilego post, my LEGO architecture series that showcases recreations of famous landmarks and buildings around the world...made entirely out of LEGOs!
Over the past three years, I've showcased Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces countless times. After reading the biography on him way back in seventh grade, I saw a wide variety of his work, but my favorite was definitely Fallingwater, a house in the forests of Pennsylvania that uses a waterfall as the focal point of the home.
Wright initially planned on building it around the main waterfall, but he later decided to build Fallingwater on top of it! He didn't want the family to just look at the waterfall...Wright wanted them to live
in it. Using the terrain as his canvas, he created an amazing
structure that emphasizes the beginning of a new era in modern
architecture. Wright was the pioneer of this new era.

Of course, you can easily expect that a house this famous would be turned into a LEGO project, right? Yes! Designed by Adam Reed Tucker, this set has 811 pieces. You can buy the LEGO set yourself for roughly $100...and build it yourself. What more could you ask for? :D
