John Hancock Center TOPS Design Competition, Elevation

A colorful drawing of a skyscraper, its windows lit with red, against a royal blue night sky, sun at left and moon at right. A robed figured carrying a smaller figure stands atop the tower, larger than life, with Egyptian-style imagery of a cow and horizontal figure above them in the sky, three shorter buildings and a winged figure below.
