[MIST-ify]

Water features make lounging around a park such a pleasure. They lend both aesthetics & function to a landscaped area. While they prettify the place, they also cool it down when temperatures soar.

Like this one in London.

TADAO ANDO & Blair Associates' Silence.

Located in front of the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, it is a granite-edged pool that encloses two trees. 



For fifteen seconds every fifteen minutes, clouds of mist come out of the embedded atomizers at the base of the trees.




It is illuminated at night by glass lenses with fiber optics installed below the surface of the water.


Watch the "mist-ifying" action.
