The phrase “under construction” appeared on sites and pages seemingly minutes after widespread access to the web was available. Mixed metaphors abounded everywhere on the burgeoning hypertext network, with surfers browsing pages that were under construction, or sites that had been published. Anyway, one site that took “under construction” a little more literally than others is Mr Wong’s Soup’Partments, a virtual skyscraper of user-submitted pixel art. Every floor of the isometrically-angled structure is done by someone else and carefully assembled by the enigmatic Mr Wong, a pixel art enthusiast and “resident” of the building’s penthouse. The rent is free and building materials are cheap…

Unfortunately, Mr Wong stopped accepting submissions in 2004, but he maintains the building up to that point.
