essence of Mr. Wright’s most famous buildings using the medium of the
LEGO brick that brought this partnership into being.
Another exciting aspect of the Architecture Series is the capability
to use them for education, team building, or other formats that make

buildings are a treasure trove of possibilities, says Adam Reed Tucker,

buildings in this series, which conceptualizes the very essence of each
building in LEGO bricks.
