Sales Pitch for The Mimico Fountain

“Go Big or Go Home.” I feel this phrase sums up the theme of my fountain. When designing various public works, it is important to think of the “Wow” factor. Four boring little streams of water? That’s not going to elicit much of a “Wow” factor. But eight glorious streams of water shooting in to the sky at different heights and widths? That’s going to make people think, “Wow”. I designed this fountain with the Sydney Opera House in mind. Like the Opera House, these fountains rise up from the water creating contrast between contrast between the simplicity of Lake Ontario and the spectacular design of the fountain. As I mentioned before there are eight fountains, each symmetrical of varying height and distance/width. This symmetry and variety makes my fountain aesthetically appealing to the viewer. My fountain complex is detailed, ornate, majestic and the perfect thing to brighten up and rejuvenate Toronto’s waterfront. In conclusion, my fountain is the fountain to choose because it is so detailed and similar to art, and will provide Toronto’s waterfront with some much-needed life. My fountain will help to rejuvenate and revitalize our city’s waterfront like no one else’s will. By Mimi Deacon, designer of Mimico Inc.
