This document provides details of a proposed recreational park project called Taylor's Fountain Park. The project involves constructing a water feature similar to Chicago's Crown Fountain on the lake within Taylor's University campus. The proposal includes design plans showing the location, layout, and features of the fountain park. It also includes an analysis of the site, design drawings, a project schedule, and cost estimates to construct the Taylor's Fountain Park.

3. INTRODUCTION
The Final Project of Introduction to the Construction Industry is
to initiate a small construction on a land area of not more than
30M x 30M within Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus
compound.
Upon throughout observation on campus site and understanding
the daily routine of the Taylors’ “residents” and their lifestyle,
we have decided to propose a recreational area, which would
benefit everyone and most of all, it would be the most
spectacular structure in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus.

PROJECT PROPOSAL
A recreational park with water features would create a
welcoming sight to Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus.
This Taylor’s Fountain Park’s proposal is an adoption of the
Chicago’s Crown Fountain concept.
The Chicago’s Crown Fountain is made up of two 50 foot
glass block towers that display rotating video images of
1,000 residents. The giant faces smile for a few minutes,
then pucker their lips and a pipe embedded in the screen
sends out a large stream of water, giving the illusion that the
water is spouting out of their mouth. As a transition between
faces, the tower goes black and a cascading waterfall comes
raining down the sides.
The two 50-foot-tall glass structures face each other across a
wide, shallow skin of water. Water falls down all four sides

5. of the glass-block towers, inviting children and adults alike
to play. Every few minutes, the 2,800 gallons per minute of
water stops and faces appear. At a cost of just under $17
million, Crown Fountain is a valuable reflection of and for
the city that will entertain and delight millions of people for
years to come.
But the Taylor’s Fountain Park will only require a tower
instead of two as not to overcrowd the lake’s view.

8. The piece consists of two 50-foot high translucent towers constructed of glass brick
that glow with internal light on all sides. The pair of 50-foot towers facing each other
across a black granite plaza covered with an eighth-inch of water (to give visitors the
illusion they’re walking on water) Large LED video screens are positioned behind the
opposing faces of the two towers. Water flows over the tower faces and onto a plaza
in a thin film
The reflecting pool is actually two-and-a-half-feet deep and located over an
underground parking garage. Black granite pavers are suspended, sitting on adjustable
pedestal jacks. the pool takes up the entire area of the fountain, it is large enough to
collect the water flowing down the towers. Water gently surges up from the reservoir
at 5,266 gallons per minute through the narrow spaces between the pavers, which sit
on pedestals.

A close-up of the custom acrylic nozzle block from inside the tower. The piping leads
water into a hollowed out cavity that is 2 inches wide and 7 inches long. This chamber
allows the water to mix in order to equalize the pressure before being forced through a

9. total of 360 holes that are one-sixteenth inch in diameter. to create a water spout from
videotaped lips is by sneaking piping between the screen and glass, by offsetting a
segment of the screen itself so we could snake smaller pipes through the gaps.
The LED screen alternates faces and nature scenes. The panels are DMX-based
control panels made by McDowell Electric. The towers are illuminated via LED light
fixtures that are capable of reproducing many millions of specific colors. At night the
underwater illumination can penetrate through the stainless steel grating. The up
lighting at the base of the towers is achieved using a total of 120 500-watt fixtures.
They are mounted on custom made stainless steel stands beneath the grating.

RATIONALE AND BENEFIT
The Taylor’s Fountain Park would enable residents of Taylor
and guests to interact with the water and each other. It’s a
vision a modern day piazza complete with a fountain.
The creation would be a gathering place that provided hours
of fun or peace, conversation or anonymity.

10. An escape especially on a hot day. Even if you don't want to
get in the fountains, you can catch some mist to cool off!
The images of the giant faces will blink, smile and then
finally squirt water out of their mouths. Its fun to watch.
Other then projecting the giant faces, colorful LED lights
display, using the LED screen as advertising and sending
messages across the university or highlighting a certain
event of functions or announcement would be an additional
advantage as this giant tower would captures all eyes getting
in and out of the university.
Indirectly, this fountain park will enhance the landscape of
the Lake.
Last but not least, the Taylor’s Fountain Park would
definitely create a new hit in town and adds fame to the
Taylor.

SITE ANALYSTS AND
OBSERVATION
The Taylor’s Fountain Park is to be constructed on top of the
Taylor’s famous 5.5 acres man-made lake.

11. Due to enormous usage of water, any spills of water will be
redirected to the lake, hence the lake side is the best place to
build the Taylor’s Fountain Park.
The fountain park requires a built-up space of 20M x 45M
(which equivalent to 900M² from 30M x 30M), which would
be more presentable as the Crown Fountain landscape is
rectangular in size.
It is build adjacent to the lakeside staircase, the only
entrance to the park thus a neat entrance concept without
creating additional access path.
