My project is based on the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein. In his view, space and time is a four-dimensional object. In the world of 4D, each person, according to Einstein, is such a four-dimensional worm, because when moving all the bodies leave a trace behind. I have applied the same idea to architecture. Evolution of buildings in time can be presented as evolutionary objects that describe the movement, for example, of a private apartment house in time. From the cottage to the modern mansion. But in 4D-object such evolution will be hardly appreciable, as the sizes of an apartment house for centuries have changed only in 2-3 times.

Therefore, to visualize my idea, I took the tallest buildings. Its dimensions for the last century have changed almost 20 times.

So, I have created a horizontal skyscraper that captured the growth of the highest structure on Earth in the last century. It can be either a real object or a virtual one, which exists only in the mobile application. Thus, my object reflects in itself a combination of the real world and the world of virtual reality. In my project, the very idea of virtual reality appears as a visible image, like a real horizontal skyscraper. Its length is 100 years, and the height is from 40 to 800 meters.
