The Weather Yesterday

As part of 2012’s London Festival of Architecture, interaction design firm Troika launched a beautiful thought-provoking installation at Hoxton Square. Celebrating the weather as a predominant topic of discussion in British culture, ‘The Weather Yesterday’ is a five-meter high sculpture that shows the weather and temperature at any point of time exactly as it was the previous day.

By changing the weather station’s focus from the future to the past, the designers want their installation to “offer a spin on the urgency with which we are using our mobile devices, forecasting and interactive technology”. Head over to this article on Designboom to check out a photo series of the project.
