It is apparently important for children to experience the measuring of time not just using digital watches, but in the context of its cosmic determinates. Particular value has been laid on the sculptural form of the shadow-casting element, the triangular form of which is reminiscent of the hands on a clock, a pyramid jutting upwards in the endlessness of time, or the fin of a shark. The lines of the full hours have been executed in bands of brickwork with the warmth of colouring graded in an area of paving blocks. Cubes for playing with and a semicircular wall both provide seating; the sundial's surface is a playground.
