The term fountainhead refers to the hydrological process by which water flows from the soil or between rocks in a natural way, a process that creates ecosystems determined by specific variables. Through the creation of an aquatic enclosure, the project seeks to create a space for observing how heterogeneous, real and symbolic dynamic systems are constantly changing their configuration in symbiosis with the environment and its variables.

The project is born from a joint affinity to establish a possibility of relationship with the architectural element. In collaboration, concrete situations are generated from minimal gestures that transform the architecture, the space and its functions.
