Freeze

Proposal for a competition. (not selected).
Fountain: Stainless steel, ice cube machine, acrylic tubes, wood (benches). Approx: 3,5 meter diameter.
This Fountain doesn’t sprout, it drips. Ice cubes, made in the machine in the top of the pole, drop down through acrylic tubes, creating a whistling sound.
They fall in the wired basket and start melting. As a result water drips on the roof, creating a constant dripping sound.
From the roof the drops fall into the water that encircles the base and the benches underneath the roof.
