Long Term Perspective

Today I met a very interesting person. Alexander Rose who is in a project of creating a clock that would last 10,000 years!

Indeed, it is a very interesting project that let’s us think about the future and design.

I have been seeing so many people talking about Green, Sustained(sustainable) design for the past few years. I had doubt about the term, Sustained Design for quite a while. It didn’t make that much of a sense to me. Perhaps, if we were to change the whole industrial structure to a sustainable system, it might be different. 

 

Well, Alexander’s presentation today was meaningful to me in the sense that his project actually enables people to think about the future in the long run.

 

When it come to creating design for longevity, I don’t expect myself to come up with something as mind blowing as ‘the 10,000 year clock ‘. However, I do hope that my research could open a new way of seeing the future.
