It’s a decidedly lighthearted way to pay tribute to an architect who always took himself quite seriously, but what’s not to love about the new Frank Lloyd Wright Lego sets?
To honor the 50th anniversary of the opening of his Guggenheim Museum in New York, Lego has unleashed a miniature kit of the iconic circular museum. This summer, the Danish toy company will release a Fallingwater Lego set in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the house, complete with a clear plastic waterfall and blocky, forest green foliage. (Though the world-famous cantilever doesn’t look as striking or proportionally bold in Lego-form). Both sets were designed by Lego architecture guru Adam 
Reed Tucker of Brickstructures, Inc., and you can order them at Brickstructure’s online store.
How about Lego cut a deal with the AIA and hands over a model of each gold medal laureate's most well-known building with their prize!?!

How cool is that?? FLW in Lego. As a boy, my hours of Lego building inspired my future architectural career.
