Art Conjecture : Water Fountain

This conjecture is a concept for a public space and focuses on greenery and flowing water. I have developed a variety of designs to demonstrate the variety of combinations and possibilities that exist within the components of a raised bed wall, water, and plant life.

Focusing primarily on the concept titled, “Climbing Wall Fountain,” I want to highlight some concept decisions. First, this conjecture is designed to utilize vertical space along a flat wall. It features a water collection area at the base and provides a climbing wall for plants to thrive.

The waterfall is the primary focal point and contains mosaic glass set behind for the water to fall over. The water travels out of the water spout located at the top, down the mosaic wall, into the collection pool, and then is transported back up to the water spout using a water filter and pump. This would ensure constant

This concept is designed for either indoor or outdoor placement and features seating along the walls of the water collection pool. Though it can be placed in either, outdoor seems to have some drawbacks with the colder months of the year. Water would have to be drained and some of the plant life would likely die or at least go into hibernation and lose its beauty.

Takeaways

This concept I feel is moving in a good direction. For this concept, I am most excited about the mosaic waterfall wall. I think it would be a beautiful complement to the greenery and could certainly add interest to the concrete appearance. When developing my design further in the future, I will take what I have learned with me.
