Our Decorations
The
Albert Lorenz Buried Blueprint gallery.
We
have displayed the Buried Blueprints jigsaw puzzles by Albert Lorenz
who is an Architect Illustrator. These 1000 piece puzzle were originally
available several years ago but are now found only on Ebay under
"Buried Blueprints". The series is known for its fine detail and
interesting small messages interspersed with the puzzles. We chose
these to decorate our office because hey are both interesting and
educational. We get more questions about these puzzles than anything
else.
We
recently added informational links to each puzzle since we reason
that if people find these puzzles and stories interesting that they
may be encouraged to learn more from websites and other sources
that contain additional information.
Albert
Lorenz studio website is at: www.albertlorenzstudio.com
Some of the links
that appear on the walls in our office. We cannot show these all
on the web since some artwork is copywrited by the original artist
but you can visit his website to view them.
