☀️ A clock powered entirely by sunlight. No batteries. No electronics. No moving parts. Located in Rio de Janeiro’s Botanical Garden, this elegant sundial measures time using one of humanity’s oldest technologies: the movement of the sun across the sky. Its operation is based on a simple yet remarkable principle. As sunlight strikes the dial, a shadow cast by a precisely positioned element moves throughout the day. The changing position of that shadow aligns with calibrated markings, allowing the time to be read directly from the sun itself. Behind its apparent simplicity lies a deep understanding of geometry, astronomy, and Earth's rotation. For centuries, sundials served as some of humanity’s most reliable timekeeping instruments, helping shape everything from daily routines to scientific observation. Today, the sundial stands as a reminder that sophisticated design does not always require complex technology. Sometimes, the most elegant solutions rely on natural forces that have been available all along. A beautiful intersection of science, design, and the movement of our planet. #Architecture #Sundial #DesignInspiration #Geometry #Astronomy #LandscapeDesign #PublicArt #ArchitectureLovers #ScienceAndDesign #Timekeeping #Arch2O

The most perfectly planned city could still fall apart at planet scale. Here's the rule that holds it together. Fractal design sounds like the answer to building a city that spans an entire planet. Copy a pattern. Repeat it from block to region to planet. Perfect order, forever. But cities are human. Not math. So yes, design the planet like a fractal. Planned and repeated pieces at every scale. But also design for the seams where it glitches. Because it will glitch. What keeps a planet-wide city alive isn't symmetrical perfection. It's flexibility. Let the center set the rules, then get out of the way so a million local decisions can breathe. Even the Clone Army started from one template. Every clone drifted. Cities will too. If an ecumenopolis works at all, it won't be because someone micromanaged perfection from the top. It'll be because the map was built to survive its own imperfections. The fractal isn't the answer. It's the starting point. #Ecumenopolis #WorldBuilding #CityDesign #UrbanFutures #SciFiConcepts #FractalDesign #PlanetCity #Nollistudio #SpeculativeDesign #FutureCities #ArchitectureTheory #ScienceAndDesign #Shorts

During quarantine, Tanya Gupta chose to use that extra free time at home to begin learning Photoshop. Her project #QuarantineArt where she chose 2 new people's selfies and used her growing Photoshop skills to create out-of-this-world art. #designatlas #scienceanddesign #Adobe

Our recent guest, @Astro_Nicole, published her book titled Back to Earth last fall. If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet we highly recommend it! You can find it wherever books are sold. #designatlas #season3 #scienceanddesign #astronauts #NASASocial #NASAastronauts

Uniting a planetary community of children through the awe & wonder of space exploration & the healing power of art. That is the mission station for @SpaceForArtFoun where @astro_nicole is one of the founding directors. #designatlas #scienceanddesign #astronauts #NASASocial
