Lego has revealed the first addition to its Architecture series for 2013, and once again the company is paying tribute to a master of the craft—Frank Lloyd Wright—with Tokyo’s Imperial Hotel.
The series has already included several of Wright’s creations before; like Falling Water, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Robie House, and it’s unfortunate that this time around it’s for one of his structures that’s no longer standing. So for somewhere around £60 you can secure yourself a small piece of history composed of 1,188 tiny plastic bricks.

How to Build an Ice Hotel
This is gonna sell like hot rice cakes in Japan. Wright’s original was a masterpiece, and it survived both 1923 earthquake and 1945 bombings; the current Imperial is uninspiring slab.
Falling Waters is one of my favourite buildings. did a thesis on it. i still want to own a house in the woods.
i wish when i was at uni doing architecture we could have used lego rather than building everything from fiddly bits of card.
