Clock Project Design a timepiece using a standard clock mechanism
Time is a linear process as explained by the theory of Entropy*. Traditional clocks display time within a reapeating cycle. This timepiece unravels a roll of string, creating linear movement. This creates a inventive, tangible link with time. * 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: The Universe goes from Ordered to Disordered
The clock enables tactile interaction with the linear passage of time.
Clock Project
This linear method of displaying time can be applied in many ways. Here I have illustrated a possible application, which creates an original method to measure time. Task
Object
Length of Time
Why should we time our everyday tasks in 15, 20, 30 minute segments? Are these measurments tailored to the task at hand? What if the length of an object represented a measurement of time?
Step 1. Cut string, mark where it finishes
| Step 2. Mark length of object used in task
| Step 3. Begin task
| Step 4. Once string has traveled past bottom mark, finish task

Design a Bus Shelter Functional Problems · Lack of shelter from the weather. · Bench is uncomfortable · Timetable is confusing, unnaccessable. · Surfaces are vandalised Most problems with bus shelter’s function are complex: - Providing adequate shelter enables people to sleep in bus stops at night - Comfortable benches encorages non-bus users to use the bus stop.

Bus Shelter Project
· Improvements are available aestheticaly and enviromentaly · Does the bus system promote ‘eco-friendly’ travel? · Could the bus stop provide a shelter from urban life as well as the enviroment?
