Hi John: It's been my experience that carpet has a very short life, and when it comes time to replace it, the powers that be may decide to go with a less expensive "plain" carpet. Some other approach may have a longer life.

A new library is being built in Washington state and she iswantsto incorporate an interior sundial in the main lobby entrance. Wediscussedprojection stained glass on the ceiling, and aperture gnomons dials on the wall. Talks are still underway with the design team, but we will probably use the aperture gnomon design that uses a hole in the southern wall that projects a beam of light onto a sundial face on the floor. When we discussed how to put the drawing on the floor, I suggested using a colorful design woven in the carpeting. I know that it is now possible to order a custom-woven carpet that uses digital computer aided equipment to reproduce any design. Have any of you ever heard of a sundial carpet? John -- |
