| Light is Time by Tsuyoshi Tane of DGT Architects for CITIZEN Posted: 13 Apr 2014 11:59 PM PDT  Thanks to Enrico Zilli for sending us these photos of a light installation project at Milan Design Week 2014. LIGHT is TIME is the mesmerizing exhibition at Milan Design Week 2014 developed by Tsuyoshi Tane of DGT Architects together with CITIZEN's in-house design team. As a part of its global branding activities, Citizen came to take on the challenge of making watches that "change light into time" in accordance with the company's philosophy of "watches for all citizens." "Light is Time" is an installation of light and time. The installation is comprised of 80,000 watches' plates-the structural device that supports all of a watch's components. suspended in air at La Triennale di Milano will welcome visitors into an ethereal Art Installation that will blend the borders of time and space through light. There, a space orchestration where light will fill the space, conveying, through sound and light, a sense of light and time as yet unexperienced by humanity. Among other highlights, a pocket watch from the 1920s and the latest model will also be on exhibit. This rare timepiece will show visitors a glimpse of the origin of CITIZEN.      DGT was founded in Paris in 2006 under the joint management of Dan Dorell, Lina Ghotmeh and Tsuyoshi Tane. The winner of the international competition to design the Estonian National Museum, DGT is experimenting with architectural creation under the idea of a "Memory Field" from the firm's base in Paris. In addition to the ongoing building of the Estonian National Museum (slated for completion in 2016), DGT has projects underway in France, Italy, Japan, Lebanon and Switzerland. The firm has drawn international attention, as in 2008 when U.K.-based Icon Magazine selected DGT among the "20 essential young architects," and for "Kofun Stadium," a proposal for which DGT was selected a finalist in the 2012 international competition for the New National Stadium of Japan. DGT has won numerous other prizes including the young architects prize from the French Ministry of Culture (2008) and an award from the Architects Association of Milan (2008), as well as being the Red Dot Award Winner (2013). |
