Designing To Inspire | Building A Vision

Rocco Buttliere is an internationally recognized artist with a passion for and a degree in architecture. A lifelong brick builder, he began his current body of work of 1:650 scale models, titled Landmark | Landscape, in 2009. Since then, he has created dozens of original, brick-built works depicting a multitude of world landmarks and geographically, historically accurate landscapes. Through his work, he strives to push the boundaries of parts usage with a particular emphasis on detail, accuracy and realism, as well as to further the recognition of works representing collective world heritage.
