Technology and Art from the Heart of Nature

China: The Living Water Garden , Chengdu Sichuan Province, 1999   Betsy Damon

The Chengdu river garden features Flowform® sculptures that facilitate cleansing of water in wetland areas, consisting of a series of sculpted streaming pools that aid in water purification and enlivening through oscillatory rhythms as the water trickles from one pool to another. A fountain in a landscape of stone provides an area for children to play in the clean water before it is returned to the river. The park also features an interactive environmental education center and a public greenhouse.

New Zealand: Hastings city centre

Haukunui / Large Spring water sculpture
(Merit Award 1991, New Zealand Planning Institute)
This project was commissioned in 1989 by the Hastings City Council to create a water sculpture to serve a multitude of purposes. The sculpture, located in the heart of the commercial area was to soften the railway crossing, while bringing flowing water into the central shopping area. The site is very near an original large water spring once used by the local Maori as their main water source, and with Maori involvement, the town sculpture was called Haukunui, or Large Spring.

New Zealand: Lake Te Ko Utu in Cambridge, Waikato.

Lake Te Ko Utu, a 25 hectare lake, was dying from eutrophication and lack of movement, unable to cope with water run-off from the town. One arm of the lake was especially stagnant, and has been rejuvenated through the use of our Flowform® Superstream cascades, where one metre of our eco-technology has the same rejuvenating effect as approximately ten metres of natural stream movement. The 43 Flowform® landscape sculptures supersaturate the water with oxygen and natural energetic frequencies at a molecular level, which is carried into the lake. Designed and completed by Iain Trousdell and his team.

New Zealand: Putaruru 'Blue Spring' Waterpark.

The South Waikato District Council wanted an inviting and beautiful town centre park to enliven and refocus the township of Putaruru and to attract more rest stops amongst the many thousands of cars that travel through the town on the main road north to Auckland. Iain Trousdell created a water park with Richard Greenwood of GDL Ltd that fulfilled the design brief asked for by the Council. In 2009 the central Flowform® sculpture was refurbished in order to continue the active function it fulfills.
