The document proposes the A'SSIGN Concept which assigns a central city tower the task of connecting with inhabitants through a twice daily full rotation of its top shaped like the capital letter A. The letter A is most suitable for depicting a tower's peak as it always points upwards. The full front of the A-structure faces east and west at 6am and 6pm to mark the sunrise and sunset. Residents can use the tower to tell the approximate time of day and determine if it is AM or PM. A map shows where the letter front will be visible at different times to help orient inhabitants in the city.

3. The A’SSIGN™ Concept' assigns to a central city-tower the task to seek a close
relationship with the inhabitants of its related city. This through a twice full-rotation
of its top, a top in the shape of the capital letter A.
The letter A is most suitable of all letters depicting a tower’s peak,
always pointing upwards to the sky. Off course to make sense the name of the
concerned city preferably should start with the letter A.
The full front of the A-structure is always heading East and West at 06h00 or 18h00,
first displaying the rays of the sun to rise, last to display the rays of the sun to set.
The structure can be regarded as a contemporary church tower indicating what time of
day it approximately is. AM or PM should easily be determined by the onlooker him or
herself. A dedicated city-map shows at what time the full letter front is appearing at
different city-locations. Dedicated curb-tiles may remind pedestrians these A-lines.
"From my window I can see when to go and fix the evening meal."
