Typographic Trees
[posted by Donald®]
typographic tree columns at crawley library.
For the new library designed by architects Penoyre and Prasard, Gordon Young, in collaboration Why Not Associates, has created a ‘forest’ of oak columns which are sited throughout the library and installed from floor to ceiling like supporting pillars. Workshops with users of the library were held by artist Anna Sandberg to gather information on people’s favourite books, places and memories. Using this generated content, Gordon worked with typographers Why Not Associates to design the columns. Each of the 14 solid oak columns reflect different subjects from the gothic to the romantic and are sited in specific relevant locations within the library.

Andy Mangold: “Combining my love for type and my love for wood, the word “talk” in a pixel-based font I designed myself, constructed completely of two inch sections of square dowels.”

Qlocktwo, handmade & no numbers
[posted by Donald®]
Qlocktwo by Biegert & Funk
This is Qlocktwo, the fourth dimension squared. A clock that tells time in words. It has a quadratic matrix of letters, where some of the letters (FF Din) are illuminated. The time is displayed as text in five minute intervals. If you need to have a more exact time, look in the corner at the illuminated dots. Qlocktwo has a brightness sensor; with its help the illuminating power of the letters is automatically adjusted.
