Architecture: Proportional Clock, figurative dimension of time

Architosh was sent this interesting email from an Italian sculptor regarding a new figurative system called Proportional Clock, that represents time geometrically.

Messrs, Britas Media:

I am an Italian sculptor and I am pleased to suggest to your engineering department a new figurative system, called Proportional Clock, that represents geometrically the time, handless and numberless.

This new figurative dimension of time [is of] interests to all the fields of competence in Architecture, especially the architectural event connected to the city.

A picture of a Proportional Clock, in a horizontal realization of 15 (fifteen) meters in diameter, may be seen at the bottom of my web page, at the URL: http://www.mtsn.tn.it/astrofili/mat/puerta/index.phtml

Kindest regards, Cesare Berrini, Trento, Italy

Cesare Berrini's system concerns the Annual Solar Cycle carved on the Gateway of the Sun of Tiwanaku, the Akapana pyramid of the Inca.

For those interested in archeology, ancient systems of space and time, this story may be of interest to you.
