Showcasing America's West and East coasts in 2009 will be Seattle's Space Needle & New York's Empire State Building.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">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.</span>-- Adam Tucker<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Frank Lloyd Wright Collection:</span><br /><br />Fallingwater<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi-tfp4dpuHDzdhwzU-CdqDdVcrzODdimwBtLLgOfEgWl8WQmY6F4QgEgcwnYjksN7cKH5XolqmmV9tCbN8VnKERJj_egrp6OS1RfBFiSCMDg8Rn1kPCVqWNvXFNjs1sfPShe3G3NIb1r/s1600-h/LEGO_Architecture_FW_1b-800x600.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337993501853750050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi-tfp4dpuHDzdhwzU-CdqDdVcrzODdimwBtLLgOfEgWl8WQmY6F4QgEgcwnYjksN7cKH5XolqmmV9tCbN8VnKERJj_egrp6OS1RfBFiSCMDg8Rn1kPCVqWNvXFNjs1sfPShe3G3NIb1r/s400/LEGO_Architecture_FW_1b-800x600.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
