The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate advertising models in connection with pyramidal volumes of advertising space. In particular, a pixel at one plane of view of an image can be associated with four pixels at a lower plane of view and so on. Advertising rights with respect to the pixel can be offered for sale, which can include all, a subset, or a different set of advertising rights with respect to other pixels in the pyramidal volume. The architecture can construct the data for the image dynamically based upon contextual input and the advertising rights as well as image format can be constructed based upon notions of zoning.
