整个纪念泉的设计与施工不仅有景观设计师的参与,还有景观建模专家,顾问,景观工程师,专业石匠的参与。从设计的初始就利用模型制作出纪念泉底部那些让水或翻滚或跌落或袅袅或涌出气泡的复杂纹理与图案,详细的描述了水的历程。利用汽车行业的模型交互软件生成精确的3D模型----545块石头模型,现实中累计重量达到600吨。与Texxus合作,数字化的解决与呈现了设计所需要的230平米的独特纹理设计,并将其与石头模型结合。- w1 `; ]4 u d$ X$ X5 Z8 N3 g0 o

3 w: L5 Q+ D0 F: A- f7 T The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, opened by HM The Queen, has been visited by over two million people since 2005, making the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain one of Londons most popular tourist attractions.
& d6 x/ N7 {0 p+ H) C9 k- {5 U7 c9 e The design for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain expresses the concept of 'Reaching Out - Letting In'. This is based on the qualities of the Princess of Wales that were most loved, her inclusiveness and her accessibility. The fountain has been integrated into the natural slope of the land in Hyde Park using as a starting point the existing ground level around the canopies of the mature trees surrounding the site. The memorial stands out as a light coloured ring in the landscape which contrasts with the surrounding meadow area and planting. The fountain has specific features to create different water effects like a 'Chadar Cascade', a 'Swoosh', 'Stepped Cascade', 'Rock and Roll' and a still basin at the bottom which reflect the various qualities of the Princess' life.
