The new conceptual design by Elliot White, a New York based architecture student as improvisations over the Queens Museum of Art has some interesting facets to it. The said building will be constructed using the lattice structure and after covering the layer with concrete, a plastic bag will be placed as a support for hardening the concrete during construction. The design will be raised off the ground, which creates an area for public space underneath the design wherein there is flexibility so that one can organize events even when the museum is close.
As they say there is time for everything, a time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to throw, a time to keep… well keeping time has been one fad that man has always been trying to do. The invention of clocks is the resultant of that. The new clock design by Jansen Lye is sure an innovative one. All it has is needles, one long and one short. There is no number, nothing, and the time is determined by the position of the needles. The clock looks cool and is completely adaptable to any given environment. A very simple yet unique design.
Though it’s a necessity in our every day life the alarm clock is an equally important device but the jarring sound that is a part and parcel of the device is something that ensures that you wake up but in the process wakes up others as well! But the new alarm clock designed by Johan Brengesjo seems to be a revolutionary one which aims to solve this problem. The clock does not ring but vibrates thus it’s a soft good morning from your slumber. And to stop the same just a simple hand gesture is enough. So get set for a new morning so that you are fresh and on time!
The new clock designed by UK based designer Duncon Shutton’s digimech clock sure seems interesting innovation. This life size clock, as the name suggests, combines the mechanical and digital aspects in a clock, as in the display digits of the clock. This is an original idea as the minute and the hour digits change just as in the game of tetra. The good thing is that even though the change is constant with each passing second, the final digit only changes after the respective minute has passed. It is fun to watch the way the minutes or hours change and takes a bit of an effort to understand the change of time, but sure signifies the talent the designer has.
Breaking the conservative loop, Locus swings its inimitable orbit by synchronizing the idea of time tell, wall lamp and art decor. This Locus clock is using a simple hyperbola as the hour and minute orbit, two motion wheels are attached to the hyperbolic case and controlled by magnetic mechanism, as they swing along its locus, the instant time, is thus showed by the corresponding coordinate markedly.
The automatic lighting feature of the hyperbolic locus as well as the indexes in dark environment provides both decorative light effect and continuous time telling feature in any circumstance.
