项目概况:


The Fountain House featuring green walls and a colonnade was designed by Berlin-basedstudio Raumlaborberlin to surround a small fountain in the center of Montreal, Canadaas part of La Biennale de Montréal: L’avenir, which runs until 4 January 2015. Thewooden-framed structure is wrapped in a layer of soil peppered with grass andfungi seeds that will continue to sprout and grow over the duration of thefestival. Twelve wide arched openings in the structure’s twelve grassy sideslead through to a circular colonnade. A set of narrower arches in the palewooden walls provide access to a timber-lined central space with a small wellpositioned below a circular opening in the roof. Water collected in thesubmerged basin is drawn up the sides of the structure by a pump, before beingredistributed into the air via nozzles to create a light "refreshing"mist. Wooden benches positioned around the pool of water provide a place wherevisitors can contemplate the pool and vapour clouds. Stairs lead from thecovered walkway that surrounds the central area to a rooftop viewing platform,offering 360-degree views of the surrounding area
