LEGO Architecture Fallingwater (21005) (Discontinued by manufacturer)

Product Information

This is a real feature of Fallingwater and perhaps the second-most common point to take pictures of the home. 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. The work of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is accomplished through the support of more than 10,300 members. The transparent tiles used for Bear Run and the waterfall that gives “Fallingwater” its name didn’t quite hit the mark for me. A nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1932, WPC was responsible for the founding of six state parks and has conserved nearly 225,000 acres of natural lands and waterways.

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. Founded in 2005 and formally established in 2007 by architect Adam Reed Tuker of Chicago, Brickstructures Inc.

The first segment is placed immediately onto the base, with only a single stud required to hold it in place. The new Fallingwater LEGO set was introduced today at Fallingwater, the internationally renowned Frank Lloyd Wright house in Mill Run, Pa. I won’t summarize all of Adam’s contributions to the LEGO world in this article, but if you would like to learn more about him, the Chicago Tribune published an outstanding profile on Adam Reed Tucker in 2016 which you can read here. The rear of the build is covered with various sized plates and layered up with more earth green 1 x 6 plates.

The original LEGO Architecture designs of Adam Reed Tucker barely resemble the Architecture series today. 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. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) enhances the region’s quality of life by protecting and restoring exceptional places. Fallingwater primarily uses ordinary bricks and plates in its 811 parts, with no sloped pieces or Technic parts. But more color should have been integrated into the set, to better capture the natural beauty of Fallingwater.

Only five grille plates are used in the build, plus ten SNOT bricks to place the waterfall and Fallingwater sign.
