No other American architect’s work endures, or remains as Photo: OBMA. ® F.L. Wright Fdn. compelling, as that of Frank Lloyd Wright. His was a unique style rooted in nature, that he called “organic architecture,” emphasizing the harmonious relationship between a building and its landscape.

“Rhythm in a building is largely a question of the third dimension or the depth of the building. A thing is out of place when it is not in rhythm. And what is rhythm in a building? In music you listen to it, in painting you look at it, in a building you live with it.”

21005_Fallingwater_BI_book_Rettelser_Aug_09.indd 102 9/2/09 11:15:09 AM “Organic architecture sees the third dimension never as weight or mere thickness but always as depth. Depth an element of space; the third (or thickness) dimension transformed to a space dimension.”

– Frank Lloyd Wright, 1957

21005_Fallingwater_BI_book_Rettelser_Aug_09.indd 103 9/2/09 11:15:09 AM A Word from the Artist

As an Architectural Artist my desire is to capture the essence of a particular architectural landmark into its pure sculptural form. I fi rst 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. The LEGO brick is not initially thought of as a material typically used in creating art or used as an artist’s medium. I quickly discovered the LEGO brick was lending itself as naturally to my applications as paint to a painter or metal to a blacksmith. As I explore how to capture these buildings with the basic shapes of the bricks and plates, I fi nd the possibilities and challenges they offer almost magical.

21005 Fallingwater This model underwent a total of 14 design concepts as it delicately incorporates a unique “pull-apart” interactive feature. Unlike the fi rst 5 models in the LEGO Architecture series which are static by design, I wanted to explore the use of the LEGO Brick even further by expressing the dynamic nature of Fallingwater; with this in mind I was able to have sections of the model slide out. The design challenge was in fi guring out how to cleverly disguise, in an almost puzzle-like design where the model comes apart without distorting one of Mr. Wright’s most recognizable achievements. Another design concern was how to carefully balance the playful nature of the river, waterfall, woods, and bridge that embrace and defi ne Fallingwater. These subtle details give Fallingwater context, without which it would not be possible to truly illustrate its beautiful, sensitive and thoughtful design.
