Storyboard for audio-slideshow "The Continuous Monument"

Description:

Full original title “Storyboard for a film for an American television company, MCW”), composed of a series of drawings that describe the many ways humans have applied order to their environment, the different monuments that have resulted—from Stonehenge to modern expressways—and a story of the discovery of the Continuous Monument, a single architectural model for the total urbanization of the world.
