New Fallingwater LEGO set unveiled at Fallingwater

Fallingwater is a home designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935, partially overlooking a waterfall in the mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania. And finally, while I understand how trees are one of the most difficult forms to capture in LEGO bricks, these tiny 1 x 1 brick trees are a poor substitute for the thick forests of the Pennsylvania mountains. It was founded in 1932 and today the group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of play materials for children. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) enhances the region’s quality of life by protecting and restoring exceptional places.I happen to live just a few hours away from the real Fallingwater, and what I appreciate most about the real-life structure is how it captures the beauty of Pennsylvania’s mountains.

Only five grille plates are used in the build, plus ten SNOT bricks to place the waterfall and Fallingwater sign.The front of the box provides a view of the completed LEGO model, plus the standard details on the set’s size and target age group. The ground is built up with 1 x 6 earth green plates, and reddish brown 1 x 1 round plates will form the trunks of the trees. Kaufmann and completed in 1937, the home’s cantilevered tiers hang suspended atop a 30-foot waterfall — Wright’s ingenious way of melding the man-made structure with its natural surroundings.

This home was built in the 1930′s around an existing cascade of waterfalls which still run through it today.

The method of sliding together the puzzle-like floors of the home is clever and gives LEGO Fallingwater a unique touch. It also includes a brief summary of both Fallingwater and architect Frank Lloyd Wright, plus the only image of Fallingwater itself, the famous “downstream” view of the waterfall and the home. This simple tree style is only used one other time in the LEGO Architecture series, in the next set that would be released after Fallingwater, the original version of the White House. Founded in 2005 and formally established in 2007 by architect Adam Reed Tuker of Chicago, Brickstructures Inc. I first and foremost do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my own artistic interpretations through the use of LEGO bricks as a medium.

But more color should have been integrated into the set, to better capture the natural beauty of Fallingwater. The original LEGO Architecture designs of Adam Reed Tucker barely resemble the Architecture series today.The house is built separately in five segments, which slide together more like puzzle pieces than LEGO bricks. Tucker introduced the new LEGO set today at Fallingwater with Doug Volker, director of licensing and product development for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and Lynda Waggoner, director of Fallingwater and vice president of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. This list would not be complete without at least mentioning Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age.
