# Geeky Minitecture The LEGO Fallingwater is F.L. Wright's Famous Home, Only Better By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-04-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fallingwater References: [theworldsbestever](http://theworldsbestever.com/2010/04/07/the-real-lego-falling-waters/) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/matijagrguric/sets/72157623778661188/) I guess if you look hard enough you can find a [replica of almost anything](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-replica). The LEGO Fallingwater is an example of this, and quite honestly I never expected to see anything like it. The LEGO Fallingwater model is made on a scale of 1:40, and took about seven months to finish. Using approximately 15,000 bricks, this bad boy screams 'craftsmanship,' because it is not the [LEGO bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-exhibition) that make Fallingwater what it is--it is the geek who put those bricks together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Replica Collectibles:** Opportunity for creating replicas of popular and iconic objects using various materials or building blocks like LEGO. - **Craftsmanship in Scale Models:** Demand for highly detailed and realistic scale models, showcasing the skill and dedication of creators. - **Geek Culture Products:** Market for products that cater to niche hobbies and subcultures, such as LEGO models of famous landmarks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy and Collectibles Industry:** Opportunity to expand product offerings by licensing and producing officially branded replicas and model kits. - **Architectural Model Industry:** Potential to create high-quality, customizable scale models of famous landmarks and buildings for enthusiasts. - **Pop Culture Merchandise Industry:** Scope to collaborate with popular franchises and create officially licensed geek culture products for dedicated fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Architecture-Inspired Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockitecture-frank-lloyd-wright.md) - [Gothic Puzzle Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md) - [Intricate Architectural Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trevi-fountain-model.md) - [Festive Brick Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoville-moc.md) - [Hyper-Detailed Motorbike Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-bmw-m-1000-rr.md) - [Nature-Inspired Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seven-natural-wonders-of-the-world.md) - [Insanely Intricate LEGO Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-rollsroyce.md) - [Artwork-Inspired Building Block Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-hokusai-the-great-wave.md)
