Fountains

Fountains

Fountains are structures that release, circulate, or display water within gardens, buildings, and public spaces. Fountain design combines basins, outlets, channels, and sometimes sculpture with a water supply or recirculating system. The movement and sound of water contribute to a fountain's spatial effect, while materials, proportions, and setting connect the structure with its architectural surroundings.

Water Supply, Movement, and Control

Water infrastructure connects sources, routes, changes in level, and points of use through coordinated structures. Aqueducts, canals, locks, dams, and fountains differ in how water is conveyed, retained, regulated, or displayed, linking practical hydraulic functions with recognizable forms in settlements and landscapes.
