This design was inspired by the aerospace industry aesthetic and the nearby airport and local technology companies. There will be 12 vertical elements creating an astronomical tool that notes the passage of time, utilizing the changing path of the Phoenix sun. At noon on the 21st day of each month, the sun will shine through a circular hole in one of the 12 vertical pieces, lining up with a corresponding bronze marker in the pavement.
