I love real-world architecture, and it got me thinking. Where did this passion come from? Well, I'm a huge Franklin Loyd Wright fan, to say the least. He was all about modularity and straight lines rounded out with surreal curves. When I think back to my childhood and love of 80s LEGO, it makes complete sense why I'm fascinated with Wright. I always loved LEGO structures -- Castle and those Police Stations I dreamed of but never got. The LEGO vehicles just couldn't compete with my GI Joe vehicles when it came to the battlefield. Who's your favorite real-world architect, and how much did LEGO play a part in that choice? ps: The first time I went to MOMA, I totally lucked out with the first floor being dedicated to a special Wright exhibit. I couldn't help but think that LEGO may have inspired Wright himself. Attached are photos of his models that gave me that vibe. It's like LEGO on steroids. .
