Digital Water Pavilion

Before I start off, I am deeply sorry for not posting any blogs of any kind for the past week. I have been extremely busy and have found no time to post and enlighten your lives. This apology of course is directed to our viewers... (If we have any yet)


As I was surfing through the internet, a headline stood out to me. This headline read "Building with walls of water," Now of course this intrigued me greatly and I went to the site. Which is http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19750906/

In this site I saw the coolest and most impressive architectural design I had ever seen in my entire life. So in this blog, I will tell you about the "Waterfall Walls."


Every wall in this building, (which is under construction right now), will be a waterfall. Which I think that fact alone is unbelievable. However after reading the article I realized that this was not the fact that impressed me the most.

The waterfalls will be under the control of "digital water". Digital Water is controlled with a computer; it has motion sensors to detect when movement comes toward the waterfall. So in other words, if you were to throw a ball, or walk towards it, the motion sensors would determine how far away the ball or you are and also determine your speed.


So in essence you would see a hole open up and come down right when you reach the curtain of water. You can enter the building from any point, and the motion sensors will pick up your movement. This is amazing as you could be running, entering at a corner, anywhere at all.


This building will be on display at the International Expo Zaragoza 2008 in Spain, it will feature an exhibition area, café and various public spaces, it is something that when it is built I would love to go and see. I can only hope that more buildings will be like the "Digital Water Pavilion" as this is a technological and architectural milestone.
