I was just looking up something else an architect friend mentioned, and happened across this site.

Those are terrific, Mike. Thanks for posting this. The Architectural Series can be ordered from their online store. I'll be ordering Fallingwater when it is released in August.

<100 pieces? Pretty darn small. I would hope they'd be really cheap.

I ran across these at the CAF store a few months ago and bought a few as gifts for some architect friends. They loved them.

Pretty cool, but I was kind of hoping it would be more like these landmarks built out of regular legos as opposed to special made, 100 pieces or so.

I would be wiling to bet there are some great examples of lego classic building copies.

Why didn't they have these when I was kid? I was a Legos addict. Who knows, maybe I'll buy Fallingwater just to try it out.

I saw these recently and thought they were rather neat, there seems to have been a resurgence in more mature Lego models:

Thanks Tomasso, that was a great video. I particularly like the Triceratops at the end.
No people though? Maybe one day the machines will develop minds of their own and enslave us all, their bodies built of Lego bricks.

I never played with Legos when I was little but was introduced to them recently. They are so much fun and I love the new line of more grown-up Lego designs.

I was a Lego fanatic as a kid, and I am still known to build random things from time to time. In the National Museum of the Marine Corps, in the gift shop, there is a giant lego sculpture of the Iwo Jima flag raising. Pretty amazing what people can do with those little bricks!
