Expo 2008’s vertical icon, the Water Tower, houses the "Water for Life" exposition. This element was conceived from the start as not only a necessary visual landmark, but also an exposition area to will be visited via ramps that allow view over both the Expo and the water park, as well as the east side of the city of Zaragoza. The upper portion is a 73 metre high glass. From: www.expozaragoza2008.es

At the center of the zocalo are two monumental elements that invite the public to gather around water in a communal space. This "inverted" fountain is made of a dense cluster of 200 transparent tubes suspended above. The installation is ever changing, with gentle drips becoming a powerful torrent and varying intensity and patterns of light. The "aljibe" (a Spanish term for well) makes a 15 meter diameter pool which receives water falling from the Rain installation above, and curves downward in a vortex that alludes to the vast amounts of water hidden beneath the earth. The rhythm, repetition and change of water falling from the installation into the aljibe is complimented by a soundscape in the communal space that evokes the emotion and sensuality that bonds humanity, water, natural cycles and a living planet.
