Unbuilt Masterpiece: The Call Building

I recently contributed to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s quarterly magazine for a special issue on Wright’s high-rises, including the famous Mile-High Illinois. But one design always stood out for me: the beautiful Call Building A fellow Wright enthusiast, Theodore Zheng, a game art designer, reached out to me and after a quick email exchange,…

Mile High Illinois

This is probably Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous unbuilt project and, from a more personal point of view, the second-largest model I have ever made. The construction of this model was long and complex, all the floors are different, so for each of the 528 floors I had to create a unique polyline. For the…

Thomas C. Lea House

Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house for Thomas C. Lea near Ashevillle, North Carolina in 1949 based on the summer cabins he originally designed for Lake Tahoe California in 1923 and later on the E. A. Smith house. The design is beautiful and shows a hexagonal plan around the fireplace which houses the daytime area…

Arizona Capitol

I made this model for the quarterly magazine of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and is about a large government complex designed by Wright for the city of Phoenix.

In this our second collaboration together, Chad Solon and I have been interested in recreating it in the same way we did the Spaulding room. From here I leave Chad describing the project in his own…

New Print Shop

I have recently changed the store in which I sell the prints I make. Now it is much simpler to acquire them: The images are downloaded directly to your computer in diverse sizes that fit perfectly in most of the frames that you can find in the market. The prices are very affordable and you…

Teotihuacan

Teotihuacán is one of the largest pre-Hispanic cities in Mesoamerica, I visited this archaeological site about ten years ago and I was amazed at the splendor of its architecture and the tremendous scale of its pyramids and avenues. The fact that the Teotihuacan’s built such a perfect city at such an early time and at a point…

The Daylight Bank

This is a commission I made last year for the FLLW Foundation Quarterly Magazine, it is the Valley National Bank, a small bank office that FLLW designed in Tucson, Arizona in 1957. As always, Wright’s ideas were ahead of his time by designing a bank in which it was possible to access without having to…

Pink Guggenheim

Once a work of art is finished it is difficult to imagine that at some point in history it could have been different. Reading this article, it is interesting to know that the Guggenheim was not always the bright white color with which we can observe it today, the original color used to be beige,…
