Submitter has developed an extensive website about the dial at: http://members.csolutions.net/fisherka/astronote/observed/ALSSundial/A LSPage.html Published quote from author: For me, space and time are the two most important things in architecture. In this case, time is an interesting issue. We are always running around-we don't have time to stop and think. You can look at the sundial and watch the shaft of light moving, making its way across the dial, and think about what time means. A woman with terminal cancer came up to me once and said it meant a lot to her to look at it and contemplate the reality of time in our brief life spans. - Kazuo Matsubayashi, quoted June 11, 2002 in the Salt Lake City Weekly Last known contact email for the designer, a retired architect professor from the University of Utah: Kazuo Matsubayashi [EMAIL PROTECTED] (should not be published without Dr. Matsubayashi's consent) Contact website for the owner: http://www.slcgov.com/PublicServices/Gallivan/default.htm http://www.slcgov.com/PublicServices/Gallivan/contact.htm The Gallivan Center 239 South Main Street Salt Lake City UT 84111 Telephone 801.535.6110 Check here [ x ] if you have photograph(s).
