I’d call this a materials story.
Steel. Glass. Stone. Now you can add Legos® to that mix. Lego Architecture kits include everything you need build your own model of some of your favorite landmarks. We’re especially excited about their partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Get your very own replica of Falling Water (above) or the Guggenheim, ready to be painstakingly assembled and enjoyed. The release of these sets coincided with the May 15 opening of the Wright exhibit at the Guggenheim, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the opening of that landmark structure. The exhibit runs through August 23. The kits can be purchased here.
I'm bowled over & really impressed with that. I had Lego's as kid and I can see the timeless appeal with this. Very clever and beautiful! Hopefully they'll come out with other architectural sets as well.

Holy crap. I've actually wanted this for a long, long time.

NEAT. I indulged in a couple of sets of primary colored wooden blocks via Amazon and have been "building" villages and houses and then drawing/painting them. Very amusing indoor activity when it is 100+ in the shade.
Lego stick-togetherness would be a help. When are they coming out with Cliff May sets?
