My current university project involves working with Ponoko, a New Zealand based mini-manufacturing community, the project asks us to design, visualise, prototype and produce an “open-source design” for the office garden or design studio.
For my project I am looking at time, in particular time as a constraint on the office or design studio. Initially I wanted to make a sundial for the Garden and through my research and observation I have noticed that sundials in general are; large, heavy, solid, fixed, sculptural and complicated. This has inspired me to try and challenge the perception of a sundial and turn it into something entirely different which would work witin the constraints of an office or design studio.
