Paddington to Sloane Square
Unfortunately, Diana Memorial Fountain was in a process to be removed after temporary exhibition in hyde park so I could not see people’s movement and shape of structure properly.
However, I could see an example that memorial structures can be taken in either a public space or a beautiful site not like ordinary temples and etc.
So I think the place may make people feel more comfortable to visit and have time to mourn for her as well.
“The design for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain by Gustafson Porter has gone through a number of key stages. It began with the designers’ first model of the Memorial and their description of the complex textures, patterns and water features on its surface that would make the water tumble, cascade, curl and bubble as it ran its course. It also involved the development of the hydraulic design of the various water jets in collaboration with Arup engineers. The challenge was to make this vision into a technically deliverable programme of work.“
