In Detroit is one of the most futuristic fountains in the world, named in honor of one of the founders of Dodge Society. Horace Dodge fountain is an impressively large metal construction consisting of the huge ring supported by two supports. In the lower part of the ring there is an opening with the built-in illumination, from the water falling to the lower level of the basin.
At night, when the well is illuminated with the wonderful illumination, he remembers the huge space ship. The fountain was opened in 1978. His project was designed by the outstanding Japanese painter Isamu Noguchi. The project was supported by the wife of Horace Dodge - Anna Tompson. The realization of the grandiose project cost about a million dollars. The top of the fountain is made of stainless steel. For the design of the basin the noble black granite was used, which makes the appearance of the fountain more exquisite and more magnificent.
