This fountain
incorporates elements of nature into a design that is distinctly architectural
in character. The inference is that the greenery, flowing water, and pools
that are an integral part of nature should be retained as a significant
feature of our architecture. There is an interplay of textures, and forms
in concrete that makes this an ordered archtectural composition in contrast
to nature. My subsequent architectural work seeks to retain this symbiotic
relationship between humans and nature resulting in an environment of serenity
and beauty.
