Final Fountain design idea

 After playing around with some more designs, i finally came across an idea which i think would create a better atmosphere in culver square. This design is a huge triangle like design which is attached of the two end buildings. This massive water fountain stretches from the buildings and into the center of Culver square.  The flowing water runs off in a pit which is covered by black pebbles which is suitable for standing on.    

 

 The design is roughly 20-30ft long and 15ft  high.  This fountain also provides as a shelter underneath the open area.  This would make and idea area for sitting down and having a coffee.
I feel this design provides a fast flow of water which creates alot of engery and movement in the atmosphere.  

 The run off area is cover in black cobbles and edges of with a black slate.  this makes the fountain very interactive as people would be able to touch and feel the fountain and water

The design is  sleek and modern which suits well with the provided area. i feel this design makes Culver square more of a modern society

 To further improve the fountains cosmetics, Ive decided  fitt it with LED's which provide a bright light and comes in a variety of colours. I feel that blue LED's at the base of the fountain would create a cool and aqua feel.  other LED places would be at the top of the fountain, the edges and  underneath, bit like a neon light.
 These are a few skins for the fountain which i feel would be suitable for the design as the all have an arty and modern feel.


 The scribble design is by far my favorite as features a lot of colour and creates that energetic movement in the atmosphere which i was trying to aquire. 

 This is a net diagram which i have planned out. this will be usefull when i start to build a model prototype.
