This is the time when the most incredible ideas pop up - numerous...

The definition of success for a fountain designed to create emotions. When it comes to emotions, kids are the most relentless judges. The fountain at McArthurGlen was designed neither to decorate nor accompany the amazing village-formed infrastructure, but to be the center of attention and actively create emotions.
