Designing To Inspire | Building A Vision
I, Rocco Buttliere, am an internationally recognized artist with a passion for and a degree in architecture. A lifelong brick builder, I began my current body of work of 1:650 scale models, titled Landmark | Landscape, in 2009. Since then, I have created dozens of original, brick-built works depicting a world landmarks and geographically / historically accurate landscapes. Through my work, I strive to push the boundaries of parts usage with a particular emphasis on detail and realism, as well as to further the recognition of works representing collective world heritage.
Since finishing my studies at IIT in 2017, I have successfully adapted my artistic pursuits into a working business model, in lieu of a traditional architecture career. I manage a full-time, one-man small business: catering toward live exhibitions of my work, free and subscription-based social media content, one-of-a-kind merchandise, as well as fulfilling commission requests.
