“Alcoa Aluminum Corporation placed a series of advertisements in leading American magazines to promote aluminum for a variety of design fields, including aircraft framing, automotive fabrication and architectural construction. I was commissioned to create a speculative advertisement which appeared in Time magazine depicting the use of aluminum in a high density cliff community overlooking an urban riverfront.”
