Small Skyscraper is a sculpture as well as a prototype for a hypothetical dwelling. Described by Burden as "a modern-day log cabin," Small Skyscraper represents a quasi-legal structure that exploits a loophole Burden discovered in the Los Angeles County building codes.

Located at One Colorado, 41 Hugus Alley, Pasadena, CA. Through November 11, 2012.

This project was funded by One Colorado, organized by Armory Center for the Arts, with additional support from National Endowment for the Arts.
