Architecture is a current theme introduced in 2008. All the sets have been designed by Chicago architect Adam Reed Tucker. The theme focuses on taking famous structures of unique design – such as Fallingwater – and turning them into sets. The Architecture theme is one of a few themes that is based upon the real world, and is exclusively comprised of microscale models. Though it started out as individual structures, it has progressed to include famous city skylines.
A theme under the same name existed in 1962 that originally and ended in 1963.
