3D Sidewalk Chalk Art

3D Sidewalk Chalk Art


Julian Beever is an English artist who has been creating 3D chalk drawings on pavements since the mid-1990s. He makes his art using a projection technique called anamorphosis. When viewed from a particular angle, this technique creates the illusion of 3D.


Beever’s “trompe l’oeil” (”trick of the eye”) chalk art is so convincing that people try to avoid potholes he has drawn in the pavement.


According to the author, the “secret is to set up a camera on a tripod and keep it in one spot and check every mark you make. It’s really just playing with perspective to make it appear different to what it really is.

World’s Oldest Skyscrapers

World's Oldest Skyscrapers


Shibam, a town in Hadramawt, Yemen, is considered to have the world’s oldest skyscrapers. It has about 7,000 inhabitants and all of the town’s house are made out of mud bricks. Some of these structures rise 5 to 9 stories high.


This technique of building was implemented in order to protect residents from Bedouin attacks. While Shibam has existed for around 2,000 years, most of the city’s houses come mainly from the 16th century.


Shibam is often called “the Manhattan of the desert”.
