Sundials
that are larger than life. Here is an attempt to bring the sundial
into the house or into the place of work. In other words, to
build a sundial that is larger than life. Whenever a beam of
light enters through a slit in the roof and falls on the wall,
it traces a particuliar path across the room throughout the
day.
This
phenomenon is used to develop a concept for a sundial. Light
coming in from an aperture in the roof falls at a definate place
in the hall at a particular time of day. This light beam will
trace a definate path throughout the day. This light is then
reflected on a projection surface, using mirrors. The reflected
light is manipulated to give an image of a number that indicates
the time of the day.
Such
an installation can be constructed in front of a building and
the reflection can be projected on a surface inside the building.
