Lego vs Frank Lloyd Wright


This has got to be the most inspired lego franchise yet, it just makes so much sense.

How come no-one had thought of this before? Build the world’s most architecturally significant structures — in Lego!

Apparently there will be 6 models in the range, starting with the iconic Falling Water and the Guggenheim Museum. Here’s a vote for the Enis Brown House AKA Deckard’s appartment in Bladerunner.

Of course none of this sort of thing is new to afficianados of the original construction toy, Meccano — who come up with awesome concepts like a scale model of The Forth Railway Bridge

Now all we need is a Plasticine model of Mies Van Der Rohe’s Olympic Pavilion

So, just in case you were all wondering what to get me for Christmas…

The model is amazing. I can't believe it's done using lego. I'm like lego and I'm thinking of buying for my kids and now having seen this I'll definitely will buy it.

Now that our new site is live, I can finally talk about development decisions we made. The site last had a makeover in mid-2008 so what we can do has moved on quite considerably, and we’ve tried to take advantage of that where possible.
