Rocco Buttliere, LLC

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 multitude of 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, accuracy and realism, as well as to further the recognition of works representing collective world heritage.

Since finishing my studies at Illinois Institute of Technology in 2017, I have successfully adapted my artistic pursuits into a working business model, in lieu of a traditional architecture career. From my home in Chicago, I manage a full-time, multi-faceted, one-man small business: catering toward live exhibitions of my work, free and subscription-based social media content, creating and selling one-of-a-kind merchandise, as well as fulfilling the occasional commission request.
