Conceptually the objective for this illustration is to depict to the tallest international structures throughout history within the context of their landscapes, placing the oldest structure , Great Pyramid Giza in the background with the tallest modern structure, Burj Khalifa, in the foreground, presenting countries of prominant influence through out history, starting with mesopatamia and ancient Egypt, France with the Eiffel Tower, the United States of America with One World Trade Center, Shanghai Tower, and lastly Dubais Burj Khalifa. By placing each monumental structure in the same orientation then dlineating the surrounding landscape within the same plane and scale, an appearent juxtaposition in hieght, relationship of the tall strutucture with its city scape, and progression of built human civilization over time would be caught in one overlayed image. For purposes of the professional submission the 2018 Ken Roberts Memorial Dilineation Competition, honoring the late Ken Roberts Architect and producer of ink perspective drawings and renderings, the concept was reduced to three overlays of the modern skyscrapers of the three largest economic powers of the world, produced freehanded in archival ink on vellum, framed in a black bordered wooden frame, and later donated to the AIA Dallas Fall 2019 ROCKITECTURE Art Fundraiser.
