Credit to Architectural Artists

Some time back I blogged about Bruce Goff's Crystal Chapel project and included a stunning image of the proposed building. I neglected to give credit to the very capable illustrators;  "Perfect Prisms: Crystal Chapel" was created in 2009 by Ellen Sandor, Chris Kemp, Chris Day, Ben Carney, and Miguel Delgado of (art)n. Click on their link to see additional architectural images. The artists have also produced very creative architectural art as GIFs. Here are a few examples of their GIFs to pique your interest:
Mies-en-scene: The Farnsworth House by (art)n
Second Illusion About Antonio G. in New York by (art)n.
Reconstructing the Wright Space by (art)n.
Punta Pacific: A Deconstructed Vision by (art)n.
The above images remind me of some Salvador Dali paintings. He often extracted abstract structures from literal images. As an example, consider Galatea of the Spheres:
Galatea of the Spheres by Salvador Dali, 1952.
