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.
