This building has a futuristic look about it and so makes its way into a bunch of movies and TV shows. I think most people know of the Waterfall Building. So aptly named. This fountain has a curtain of water falling from the ceiling of the building which arches over the entrance to the building's courtyard. The falling water resembles the flow from a lawn sprinkler, thin, linearly placed, evenly spaced streams of water fall directly down into the pool below, from which water spills on either side into collecting grates. The courtyard houses a glass building, an art gallery, which itself is bracketed by two small l-shaped, moat-like pools.
