The Town Clock is down the hill from the Halifax Citadel, and is one of the symbols of the city. For a long time, a family lived there and had responsibility for maintaining the clock. It still uses its original mechanism, but it was off by several minutes when I was there.
This was taken on my longer lens (75-300mm) to show how fancy the architecture is - impressive!

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....

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.
Time has been hard on this clock. Once precision, now a pigeon rest. I am thinking this is from the mid 1800s. The clock face is about 4 feet on the other side of the wall.
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.
