The OUTLOOK fountain is a sort of benevolent monument that communicates the day\'s weather forecast to the community through color, form and emotion.

It\'s a simple visual way for anyone to prepare for their day. Instead of giving you exact numbers, the fountain uses our emotional understanding of color and form to express the forecast. Colors like yellow and orange suggest warmth and brightness. Colors like green and blue suggest cold. Mixed colors suggest varying conditions.

The shape, strength and size of the various spouts also use emotion to express the coming weather. High, rising spouts suggest high temperatures. Busy, dispersed and frothy fountains suggest rain.

Because this fountain reads on an emotional level, it does not exclude anyone. People do not have to speak any specific language or be educated to understand it\'s message. In this way it unites the community by creating a channel of basic emotional communication between everyone who sees the fountain.

An OUTLOOK fountain would be placed in an open space, where everyone has access to it - not only to get the forecast, but to enjoy it as a landmark, a landscaping element, and a beautiful night-time attraction as well.
