1. LIFE PATH
Team 3

2. There a BBS in China called “Let’s make a story”, the
members of that BBS make stories together. For
example, one person writes the beginning of a story, and
the rest of the story will be write by many other people.
They are both reader and writer.

3. Inspired by that BBS,
our design want people to co-create a story
A story about LIFE
A story about TIME
one slide by one slide
by drawing with their own hands

4. Through this design,
people can create and see
different paths of different stages of different life

5. Design Theme
The Riddle of The Sphinx
What goes on four legs in the morning,
on two legs at noon,
and on three legs in the evening?
Human

6. One day’s Lifetime
Combine the story of life with the metaphor of time

7. People can only draw the stage of
the life in a certain time

8. Elements of a life story’s one stage
canvas of one
slide of the story
number of the time

9. What can people draw on the canvas?
Like a story solitaire game,
people can refer to the previous canvas to decide
what to draw,
each canvas’s scenario is related to the previous canvas

10. Main character, environment, activity, other people

11. Put them together to create a life story

12. One circle column = One story of one person’s life
The whole thickness = The past day (one unit of thickness means one day)

13. Side-view

14. Central part will rotate like a clock, but unlike
the normal clock, its pointer will not rotate, but
The cover is fixed the dial plate will rotate.
There is a notch on the dial plate, one function is to show the
current time, another function is to provide a entrance of the The shell is
elements inside (which will be discussed later) transparent so people
can see the pics inside

15. the amount of columns means the amount of days
e.g in this pic, the amount of canvas is for one week
Gray area represents the painted canvas
white area represents the blank canvas
Step 1. Take
Step 3. the blank
Push it back canvas from the
to the front bottom of the
of the clock clock
Step 2. Draw on it

16. When multiple canvas are being painted at the same time,
the stage of the previous days’ story will all be changed
Mar 5 4 3 2 1
In this case, everyone’s life story is uncertain, the story can be changed by any one at any time.
Everyday you come here, the story will not be the same, because they are always changing
and you will see how your move to another story to change other life

17. As time goes on,
the thickness of this clock will be increased
Like the Great Wall
this Wall of Time made by people will be
longer and longer

18. Current Problems
Where to place it?
How to guide people to use it?
