Dan Kiley: Fountain Place, Dallas, Texas

Synopsis: Dan Kiley, perhaps America’s leading landscape architect, is a classicist in his use of regular geometry. Two constant themes in his urban gardens are water and light, and never more so than at Fountain Place which he describes. Completed in 1985, its ingredients are 160 jet fountains, 263 bubble fountains, cascades and 440 cypress tress in granite planters. People appear to walk on water and trees to grow out of it The sound of water pervades.
