Detroit Institute of Art: Ancient Art Egypt
"For over three thousand years the Egyptians adhered to a prescribed set of rules as to how a work of art in three dimensions should be presented. Egyptian art was highly symbolic. All Egyptian sculpture, for example, can be described as cubic (it takes it shape from the material it was carved from and can be viewed from four sides) and frontal (the front of the sculpture is the most important side -- with the figure either standing or sitting.) Take a gallery tour by clicking on the artwork and following the Next icons."

Damien’s Skyscraper Page
"Damien is a Australian skyscraper enthusiast, and an excellent illustrator. Visit his site to marvel at his skyscraper renderings, which you’ll find listed under Contents. Must clicks include Larger and More Detailed Diagrams of Skyscrapers (Parts One, Two, Three and Four), Diagrams of Buildings (which click through to fact sheets with photos), and Diagram Comparing Tall Buildings to Other Tall Structures. Okay, so the titles aren’t that catchy, but the detail in his work is awesome."
