FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES NEW LICENSEE
The LEGO Group and Brickstructures, Inc. to produce and distribute Frank Lloyd
Wright Collection(R) LEGO(R) Architecture Building Sets
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation announced today that The LEGO Group is now the
exclusive licensed manufacturer of Frank Lloyd Wright Collection(R) LEGO
Architecture sets.
The LEGO Group and Adam Reed Tucker of Brickstructures, Inc. officially
introduced the LEGO Architecture line in 2008. The line currently consists of
six buildings - now including two of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous and
recognizable buildings, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and “Fallingwater.”
With models developed in collaboration with architects, LEGO Architecture works
to inspire future architects, engineers and designers as well as architecture
fans around the world with the LEGO brick as a medium. Builders of all ages can
now collect and construct their favorite worldwide architectural sites through
these artistic replicas.
Both exclusive Frank Lloyd Wright LEGO Architecture sets contain booklets that
feature traditional building instructions along with exclusive archival
historical material and photographs of each iconic building.
The LEGO Group will release the first of the LEGO Architecture Frank Lloyd
Wright Collection(R) sets at the opening of the Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibit: From
Within Outward at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on May 15, 2009.
Doug Volker of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation:
According to Director of Licensing and Product Development, Doug Volker, “The
LEGO product was one that the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation had considered
pursuing for several years. It was the vision, passion and creative desire of
Adam Reed Tucker to capture the 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 the LEGO Architecture
series more than just a toy.
“The LEGO Group is known for its creative approach to brick models and now, with
its Architecture Series, it will reach even further, to individuals of all
ages,” Volker concluded.
Adam Reed Tucker of Brickstructures and the LEGO Group:
“Mr. Wright’s buildings are a treasure trove of possibilities,” says Adam Reed
Tucker, innovator of the Architecture Series for The LEGO Group. “I wanted to
create these marvelous buildings for years, so I’m thrilled to be working with
the Foundation in order to include Mr. Wright’s timeless buildings in this
series, which conceptualizes the very essence of each building in LEGO bricks.”
