Hydro-Statics & Wall Fountains: Overview 6642101554.jpg

All liquids in a state of equilibrium exert force on the materials it comes in contact with. These fall into two groupings, hydrostatic load or outside force. When applied against a level surface, the liquid applies equal force against all points of that surface. Liquid in equilibrium will employ vertical pressure at every point of an object’s exterior when that object is fully immersed in the liquid. This is also identified as buoyancy or the Archimedes’ principle. Generally speaking, hydrostatic pressure on a point of liquid is a product of the hydrostatic force applied on it. These ideas are applied to the containers used by plumbing, wells, and fountains.

By cross-referencing the water fountain locations with the demographic data, they were in a position to establish whether access to functioning fountains was class dependent. The study was able to determine the demographics of areas with water fountains, also observing whether the condition of the fountains was greater or worse in lower class neighborhoods. Many of the water fountains were dirty or clogged, despite the fact that most fountains worked.

Marks of his life's work are obvious all through the streets of Rome because, in addition to his capabilities as a water feature designer, he was also a city builder. Eventually moving to Rome to fully show their artwork, chiefly in the form of public water features, Bernini’s father, a distinguished Florentine sculptor, guided his young son. An exceptional employee, Bernin earned praise and the the backing of popes and well known artists. He was originally recognized for his sculpture. Working seamlessly with Roman marble, he made use of a base of knowledge in the classic Greek architecture, most obviously in the Vatican. Though many artists had an impact on his work, Michelangelo had the most profound effect.
