It is a customary fact that, in urban public places, water provides life, a whispering, singing or blaring presence. Dealt with as a gush, a curtain-like fall or a cascade, water is made all exteriority. Wouldn’t such bright fountains be a crowning noise and dispersal in the contemporary city rumble ? On the opposite, balanced public places, streets, concourses can be successfully generated by calm and aside counterpoints, gardens, patios where a fountain gentle song can be heard, where water becomes an intimate meditation, a secret presence in the heart of the stone, softness and rest within the city.
