New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.
Clock Knot by Mark di Suvero on the University of Texas campus, Austin Texas, August 26, 2009. The monumental sculpture Clock Knot is located on the northeast corner of Dean Keeton and Speedway, and stands 41 feet tall. Mark di Suvero (born as Marco Polo di Suvero) is an American abstract expressionist sculptor born in Shanghai, China in 1933 to Italian expatriates. He came to San Francisco, California in 1941, and attended the University of California, Berkeley. While working in construction, he was critically injured in a freight elevator accident and focused all his attention on sculpture.

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
A trip up to near the Canadian border to collect some trees for our garden lead me to Fairhaven on my way back for lunch. A nice little touristy place south of Bellingham. It had a clock....

The Prague Astronomical Clock, or Prague Orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj [praʃskiː orloj]), is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.

The Colgate Clock, located at a Colgate-Palmolive factory in Clarksville, Indiana, is one of the largest clocks in the world. It has a diameter of 40 feet (12.19 meter). It was first illuminated in Clarksville on November 17, 1924. It is located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
it served as the Indiana Reformatory South. It opened in 1847, replacing the state prison which had opened in Jeffersonville in 1821. The state sold the building to Colgate in 1923.
Adorning the front of a local auto body shop is this nice neon clock. It's been lit 24/7 for years, yet it doesn't run! So, twice a day at 2:22 it shows the correct time.

Magneta Electric Clock that i restored.
Magneta clocks Switzerland where Founded in early 1890s producing master clocks driving slaved clocks. They made the clocks for the RMS Titanic
BVC acquired the UK Magneta Time Company in about 1937
Made by the Magneta Time Co, British Vacuum Cleaner Company BVC of Goblin Works, Leatherhead, Surrey.
The British Vacuum Cleaner Company BVC was founded in 1902 by Hubert Cecil Booth and listed as a Public company in 1903.
BVC produced vacuum cleaners, washing machines etc all under the "Goblin" Brand at of Goblin Works, Leatherhead in Surrey.
BVC acquired the UK Magneta Time Company in about 1937. The Magneta Time Company remained as a separate division of BVC.
They manufactured master clocks for use in post offices, telephone exchanges and other commercial and industrial settings.
By 1947 Magneta were manufacturing the Goblin Timespot, Industrial Radio Receivers and Public Address Systems.
By 1969 Magneta BVC, were making a wide variety of products in Fulham, including music systems, time recorders, master clock systems, public address systems, disco turntables, and electronic security systems.
The UK Post Office or GPO needed a system to measure the length of a telephone conversation for billing purposes. The Magneta company designed and supplied these GPO master clocks and developed the design into time recording systems.
The design of the Merewether Memorial employs the form of an Eleanor Cross and is in the English Medieval style. There are spires which could have served as a basis for the design of this memorial; for example, St. Mary at Bloxham, St. Peter at Kettering, St. Peter at Raunds and Meven St. Mary at Oxford. In fact, each one may have provided an ingredient or two for the design of this fine memorial tower.
Building designers of the time had become increasingly aware of the capabilities of Indian craftsmen, thus the skill and craftsmanship which has been available to medieval builders was also at Strachan's disposal. Strachan was no doubt aware of the intricate carving executed by native craftsmen for the baserellets designed by Kipling for the Crawford Markets and the then under construction Victoria Terminus. The Memorial shows a heightened sensitivity to detailing and an emphasis on carving and decoration, more then my other building designed by Strachan. Whereas the Empress Market's tower is a little squat, the Merewether Tower is elegant and tall, evoking memories of medieval England.
It was named for Merewether, who served as 'Commissioner-in-Sindh' from 1868 to 1877. Richard Burton, on his last visit to Karachi, paid a tribute to his friend while describing the Government House: " It is at present occupied by General Sir William L. Merewether, K.C.S.I. etc.etc.etc. an officer who, by entire devotion to the interests of his province, the scene of his distinguished career during the last thirty-three years, has made epoch' and history" (Burton 1877:1.76) Burton's opinion of Merewether's services were no doubt shared by others. Initially, a pier had been named in memory of the former 'Commissioner-in-Sindh'. Constructed by the Karachi Harbour Board, which had been formed in 1880, the Merewether Pier had cost three lakh rupees (1882). However, it was later decided that a worthy and visible memorial was in order - a memorial tower of such "prominence as to dominate the skyline of the city" to be built by public subscription. The Tower was placed at the confluence of McLeod and Bunder Road, at the extreme western end of the Serai Quarter, an area which was developed into a thriving commercial center concurrently with the rising fortunes of the city. The Memorial took eight years to complete, and was handed over to the Municipality in 1892 by 'Commissioner-in-Sindh' Evan James. The total cost of the structure and its clock was merely Rs. 37,178 compared to the Rs. 180,000 lavished on the much bigger memorial to Bartle Frere, Frere Hall.
The Memorial Tower stands on a platform 44 feet square and rises to a height of 102 feet. It prominently displays the clock placed at the base of the spire, 70 feet from the ground. Each of the clock's four faces is seven feet in diameter. The large bell installed at the time weighed three hundred weight and struck at every hour, while the smaller bells weighed one hundred weight each and marked every quarter of an hour.
The clock over the central entrance to the Wiesbaden, Germany Hauptbahnhopf. Taken by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens. Exposure is 1/80 sec @ 4.5, the upper limit of what I consider "low light".
While the clock is covered by a netting to keep pigeons away, it and the accompanying statuary needs a dusting, so I consider it "Neglected".
