Calgary Millennium Clock Tower

Calgary, AB

The clock tower is a legacy landmark to mark the year 2000 and the new millennium.

The project is a 21-metre tall obelisk fabricated of Alucobond housing a poorly-sized LED clock. As an interpretation of time it houses a GPS device that controls fibre optic displays in each of 12 horizontal reveals that encircle the tower.

I really like the control of the saturation in this.
