Skyscraper

The true practice of original art is seen every day, evident in the curvilinear façade of a research lab, the organic blob forms of the digital age or the design of the total skyscraper from the curtain wall to the salad fork as a unified idea.

A Special Place: Universal Studios After an extensive, torturous drive, Ethan finally arrived at his destination. He parked his large, black truck in the massive, congested parking garage and began pacing to get to where he was going.
