the dance floor as a collective entity
“The dance floor as a more subversive setting: one where boundaries could be blurred and thresholds crossed, where partying and politics could be woven together in the dark to channel a cultural revolution.”
-Alice Bucknell in “A Brief Architectural History of Nightclubs”

The word "fountain" derives from “to flow”. This fountain for playground is filled with water from the rain and naturally flows through a landscape. It breaks with the idea of the stagnated piss pots that proliferate in our cities.
From Middle English; from Old French fontaine (whence modern fontaine);
from Late Latin fontana, from Latin fontanus, fontaneus, adjectives from fons (“source, spring”).
From a Proto-Indo-European root cognate with Sanskrit धन्वति (dhanvati, “flows, runs”), perhaps *dʰenh₂- (“to flow”).
See also Danube.
