Product Information

The contractor, Walter Hall, also an engineer, produced independent computations and argued for increasing the reinforcing steel in the first floor's slab—Wright refused the suggestion. Lego advises to clean the bricks by hand with some water (no warmer than 40°C) and a mild detergent. Liliane Kaufmann, like her husband, was a keen outdoors person; she enjoyed both hiking and horseback riding.

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. The sets are designed to be educational, and are intended to teach users about the history, design, and engineering of these structures.The final drawings were issued by Wright in March 1936 with work beginning on the bridge and main house in April. More those teensy parts and definitely a deluxe item - like a fine wine, or couveture chocolate, you get what you pay for. 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 house is built separately in five segments, which slide together more like puzzle pieces than LEGO bricks. This could have easily been done by swapping out light and dark grays for the over-abundant use of brick yellow.

Transparent 1 x 2 plates are used for the windows, and 1 x 2 wall elements and tiles are used to form the first of Fallingwater’s many cantilevered terraces. In 1995, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy commissioned a study of the site's structural integrity. The use of simple tiles and wall elements perfectly captures the cantilevered terraces that give Fallingwater its signature look.The instructions are distriduted under a CC licence (so you can build/distribute/modify them freely, so long as you name me as the original creator, etc. Founded in 2005 and formally established in 2007 by architect Adam Reed Tuker of Chicago, Brickstructures Inc. The guest quarters feature a spring-fed swimming pool which overflows and drains to the river below.

Wright's passion for Japanese architecture was strongly reflected in the design of Fallingwater, particularly in the importance of interpenetrating exterior and interior spaces and the strong emphasis placed on harmony between man and nature. The creek (Bear Run) is made of transparent 1 x 2 tiles, with light stone grey 1 x 1 round plates added as rocks. It is built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. His passion for blending LEGO and architecture drew the attention of the LEGO Group, which lead to a partnership that launched the LEGO Architecture series.
