LEGO Architecture Fallingwater (21005) (Discontinued by manufacturer)

Product Information

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. For example, although all of Falling Water [sic] is opened by broad bands of windows, people inside are sheltered as in a deep cave, secure in the sense of the hill behind them. My hope is that my whimsical use of the LEGO Brick as an elegant and sophisticated medium transcends its identity as a simple toy to make one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s greatest achievements come to life for all to take away and enjoy,” said Tucker. With Kaufmann's approval, the consulting engineers had a supporting wall installed under the main supporting beam for the west terrace.

Fallingwater was actually the first LEGO Architecture set to use them, and they would not appear again until a few years later with the Big Ben set. As promised, having reached the 100 supporters, I release the instructions of the model (in LDraw format). The family retreated to Fallingwater on weekends to escape the heat and smoke of industrial Pittsburgh. The original LEGO Architecture designs of Adam Reed Tucker barely resemble the Architecture series today.

With his three works of the late 1930s, (Fallingwater, the Johnson Wax Building in Racine, Wisconsin, and the Herbert Jacobs house in Madison, Wisconsin), Wright regained his prominence in the architectural community. In the beginning of this article, I said that Fallingwater has been at the top of my LEGO wish list for years.

Wright had told Kaufmann in earlier communications that he had been making progress on the plans but in actuality, he had not done anything. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934, Fallingwater is perhaps the most famous residential home in the world.

It is built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. On the hillside above the main house stands a four-bay carport, servants' quarters, and a guest house. Building Techniques: How much skill do you think the creator of this MOC has, in terms of building technique? I think Wright learned the most important aspect of architecture, the treatment of space, from Japanese architecture. This LEGO ARCHITECTURE Fallingwater set (21005) is a complete set that comes with a manual and is in excellent used condition (EUC).to be used by museum visitors to view a presentation at the end of their guided tours on the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (to which the home was entrusted). It was the vision, passion and creative desire of Adam Reed Tucker to capture the essence of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous buildings, including Fallingwater, using the medium of the LEGO brick that brought this partnership into being,” said Volker.
