we are planning a few days out on the coast,
one to Eastbourne where with any luck on the beach we will see this, the Stargazer's Cabin which re-imagines the traditional British
beach hut, it has a back lit laser-cut facade that depicts constellation maps,
and at night it's laser cut façade is
perforated with thousands of small holes which are precisely mapped to form the
star constellations of the night sky, LED lights mounted behind illuminate the
perforations creating a beacon on the beach that will attract passersby,
encouraging them to stop and stare into the night sky as it extends over the
far horizon of the English Channel, hopefully it will be installed by the time we are there, the installation was a winner in a competition held by Eastbourne Borough
Council, the concept and design by georgekingarchitects.
