Several cities within the Emirates have begun to make an urban fabric and identity of the structuring their cities around places graced with Fountains. These fountains are usually large scaled features with water channels, which produce wonderful atmosphere of beauty and space. Typically these Features are located at key vistas to bring about a visual connection or axial relationship between major roads and urban open spaces. These urban spaces are gathering places for people, encouraging them to come down town and enjoy the city. The overall image of city is enhanced fountains in the urban public places. The fountains and parks provide a much-needed visual break in the sea of asphalt, buildings and parking facilities. It can be commended that these cities realize the splendor and physiological benefits of providing quality open spaces.
As new and advanced technology and methods help reduce costs, more and more clients throughout UAE are using, owning or getting involved with waterfeatures, which is fast developing into a highly sophisticated and controlled environment. Paralleling the increase is an expanding regional construction industry for this demand. In such a climate of rapid growth, it is not sufficient just to construct any fountain, but to design and build one, which ensures exciting creativity and imaginative planning in harmony with the practical needs of landscape. We at SANADI consider the purpose of each waterfeature, which can be transforming an ordinary setting into an extra-ordinary, for alteration of environmental factors to increase human comfort, project image, focal point, an organizing element for the site or enframing or captivating views.
