Farnsworth House by Lego
Farnsworth House, a National Trust Historic Site in Plano, Illinois, will soon be making its debut in miniature plastic brick form when it joins the Lego Architecture series this April. The Lego Architecture series includes some of America’s most iconic buildings, such as the Seattle Space Needle, Fallingwater, and the White House. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as a weekend retreat for the Chicago physician Edith Farnsworth, this steel and glass house is widely considered to be one of the best examples of the Modern style. The model, which is almost a foot in length and contains 546 pieces, also comes with a booklet containing a wealth of information on Farnsworth House, including measured drawings by Elizabeth Milnarik, Associate Architect at the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
