The LEGO© Group and Brickstructures™, Inc. have just unveiled a new product line called LEGO Architecture, an unprecedented collaboration between The LEGO Group and Architectural Artist Adam Reed Tucker of Brickstructures, Inc.
LEGO Architecture Series By Adam Reed Tucker
Initially, in 2008 LEGO Architecture featured a pair of Chicago’s most famous landmarks: The Sears Tower and the John Hancock Center. Showcasing America’s West and East coasts in 2009 will be Seattle’s Space Needle & New York’s Empire State Building.
Also, just added is the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection, thus far consisting of two of his most famous buildings; Fallingwater and the Solomon H. Guggenheim Museum.
As an Architectural Artist my desire is to capture the essence of a particular landmark into its pure sculptural form. I first and foremost do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my own artistic interpretations that harness the landmarks overall appeal. Beyond its identity as a toy, The LEGO Brick is not initially thought of as a material typically used in creating art or used as an artist’s medium. It is the pure sculptural form that I have translated from reality using The LEGO Brick.– Adam Tucker
