Title: Tower Works.
Year: 2009-2010 (Ongoing)
Site: Verona Tower, Tower Works, Leeds, UK.
Client: Yorkshire Forward.
Drawing: Ink and photograph on paper.
Description: Initial proposal for a binary multiplier clock that will be constantly moving and will perform a cascade of "pins" on the hour.
Starting at the bottom and travelling horizontally along the row, one pin is pushed and remains out for each second. After each 60 seconds a larger pin is pushed out to signify the minute. These rows of pins build up the side of the Verona Tower until all 3600 pins (1 hour) are out. They then reset starting at the top, creating a cascade down the face of the tower. Each hour will be shown along another row of even larger "pins".
