Drinking fountains were once social meeting points – places of interaction, provision and encounter. This project reinterprets this tradition. What constitutes a meeting point in today’s world? How can everyday life be decelerated and how can spaces for interaction be promoted? The prototype design combines access to water with collective design and acts as an invitation to rethink public space in a spirit of inclusiveness and sustainability.
The fountain relates to SDG 11, “Sustainable Cites and Communities”.
