About the project (provided by the applicant)
“The Steel Heart of the Motherland” is the world’s largest thematic cascading fountain. It is an intricate engineering system spanning 3,500 square meters, capable of creating spectacular visual effects. In the upper basin of the fountain, around the “Ore” installation, there are 10 nozzles that simulate the heat of a blast furnace melting ore.
The fountain features over 1,000 water jets, which give it a unique character. Additionally, more than 5,400 underwater LED lights installed in the fountain come alive to the rhythm of music.
The fountain includes unique art objects:
- The heart of the fountain, “Ore,” a stylized structure made of “eternal” corten steel.
- Metallic cubes that mimic the crystalline molecular structure of metal.
- Acoustic, vandal-resistant lighting poles, “Time.”
The decorative illumination of the poles creates an additional light contour during the fountain’s show program. This unique fountain project was brought to life in the “Attraction” park.
