URBAN FORMS STUDIO PLLC Independent Venture
Job Title:

Independent Painter, Photographer, Architectural Designer

After the dissolution of A3D Studios in 2001 with partner Brian Buckley, (now Kamazar Productions), Mr. Lagomarsino formed Animated Visions Industries which became UrbanFormsStudios today. This animating and MultiMedia venture expanded into painting, photography, model photography and BIM consulting, as well as recently the upcoming publication of his new book, (see below).

During the Great Recession, Mr. Lagomarsino has decided to solicit his artistic talent directly to the open market as well as through associations with other firms. This affords him more independent freedom to express artistic vision, only limited by a client's comfort zone.

Four ventures are being pursued. Photgraphy, Abstract Painting, Architectural / BIM Consulting, and Authoring. See below for their explanations and directions.

An architectural survey of the status of the American downtown and the urban fabric found there.

Images focused on creating and finding unique compositions in built form.
I look for three dimensional forms in our cities with a set of unique Carteisan coordinates juxtaposed and flattened onto a canvas. Sometimes they may seem busy, not the typical symmetrical imagery, but they are an ephemeral feeling of beauty that somehow evokes a WOW.

Paintings
Using emotive means and raw feelings, my paintings are created at times of pure emotion purposed of animating human conditions into canvas and forms. The critical importance is that of derived or expressed emotion, not just strokes of paint, but placed on the canvas with a Raison D'etra, temporal and recorded states frozen in time.
Architecture Custom designs based on real meanings and calculated proportions. Genesis of forms derived by actual functional form lexicons. Not just whimsical creative ideas without basisThe intent is to build a form of materials and encapsulate the meanings of the function. A working form follows functions devoid of typical stereotypes for spaces and materials found in generic design firms.
