Fountain Design and Construction Should Grasp Key Elements

The cost of the fountain is relatively large. The total investment of the Dubai Music Fountain has reached US$218 million, and the music fountain of Xi’an Datang Furong Garden has reached 10 million. In the process of designing and constructing fountains with huge cost, in order to effectively improve the utilization rate and effect of the fountains, it is necessary to grasp some key elements and adapt the local conditions to the local environment to take full advantage of the fountain. In general, the construction of the fountain is mainly an artificial fountain, which complements the surrounding buildings and natural landscapes to enhance the overall landscape effect. With the elements of water, light, sound and color created by the fountain landscape, the fountain brings the audience a sense of hearing. Diversified experiences such as vision can make the fountain truly play its role and form a backdrop for the landscape.

Element 1 must grasp the overall layout

As a complex project in the design product, the fountain not only needs to design the water spray shape and music background of the fountain, but also needs to influence the space position of the fountain and the influence on the architecture and natural landscape from the perspective of overall layout. In order to make a master plan and coordinate the relationship between different elements such as fountains, landscapes, and audiences, the fountain can fully play its role and enhance the fountain’s background effect. The overall layout requires a professional team, based on the geographical location and spatial location of the fountain, to compare the effects required by the surrounding landscape, and to carry out the overall design.

Element 2 must capture the musical background

The fountain needs the cooperation of music. With the help of different shapes of water flow, the role of the fountain can be effectively utilized to achieve the effect of the landscape. In the process of fountain design and construction, we should take the music background as an important content, combine the local cultural characteristics, consider the music background that needs to be introduced, embody the unique cultural charm, and enhance the intrinsic value of the music fountain. For example, the Xi’an Big Wild Goose Pagoda fountain, when inviting foreign professional music fountain design team to design and construct, incorporates the musical background of Chinese cultural characteristics into the core elements, and sets the fountain with the folk songs such as “Liang Zhu”, “Step by Step” and “Xi Yang Yang” as the music background. Shape, nozzle direction, water flow height, stop time, etc.

Element 3 must do a good job of equipment coordination

The fountain is an important part of the urban landscape and the park landscape, and it needs to be equipped with equipment to function properly. From the point of view of the equipment required for the fountain, it needs to cooperate with a variety of equipment such as auxiliary nozzles, water pumps, audio, electronic control equipment, and calculation code to ensure the normal operation of the fountain. In the design of the fountain, the effective cooperation between the equipment is the key to the design of the fountain. Only good equipment, good operating environment and suitable equipment can effectively improve the service life of the fountain, reduce the running cost and increase the profit.
