Surreal Water Feature At Expo 2020 Dubai | Breathtaking Water Falls Designed by WET Debuts

Описание: The Water Feature is one of its must-see attractions in Expo 2020 Dubai. Water feature is designed by WET, an integrated architecture, design, manufacturing and engineering firm based in Los Angeles, California. WET creates immersive, experiential large-scale water features around the world, such as this, one of their largest and most technologically advanced installations for Expo 2020 Dubai.

The water feature’s lower plaza area is almost the size of half a football field, with water walls more than four stories high. Situated between Al Wasl Plaza and Jubilee Park, the Expo 2020 Water Feature combines the elements of water, earth and fire in a way that will both surprise and delight the senses.

The water is choreographed to move to the sounds of the original music score created by Ramin Djawadi, who composed the Game of Thrones among other well-known works, another first,” emphasized Mark Fuller, CEO of WET. “Here is a place where nature plays and performs—where the magic of the world, hiding just beneath nature’s cover, reveals itself to each Expo visitor. It is a magnificent creation that has been in the works for more than three years and to see it come to fruition is truly an amazing experience.”

The Expo Water Feature’s music is unique; musical fountains the world over are choreographed to existing music. In the opposite way, movie soundtracks are scored to already filmed movie scenes. But here, the visual synchronicities of the feature were simultaneously born, side by side, with the creation of the feature’s music—a world creative first. Each surge of water is released on a musical cue, creating an orchestral masterpiece performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. The original score was written by the award-winning composer Ramin Djawadi, whose work includes the theme music for the HBO series Game of Thrones

Located near the center of Expo, the circular-shaped water walls enclose a plaza which houses observation benches and seating areas. At the top of the feature’s towering stone walls, white water waves arise from nowhere. They leap and cascade downwards to the themes of the thunderously beautiful music that fills this arena of nature, then disappear into the floor. The Expo 2020 Water Feature and its surrounding landscaping and architectural elements are arranged in a way that connects people through dynamic movement inside the park, while also allowing interaction between adjacent spaces.

Three openings slice into this volcano-like structure, offering entry to its core and three viewing platforms – situated on approximately the third-floor level – allow visitors to see down into the arena for a birds-eye view of the stunning vista.

At one of the openings, the towering sides of one slice reveal strata of glistening stone, with shades of sapphire blue streaking through. The stratified walls of the next entry are streaked in ruby red, and the third shimmers with traces of a golden yellow. Playful waterfalls tumble down its outer sides that are covered with lush flora. The mechanics of the installation will create the illusion that the water is shooting in reverse from the sides as it rises above spectator’s heads before falling to their feet. The installation is eco-friendly, wasting no water aside from what evaporates during the spectacle.
