Abstract

The fountain is a specific architectural genre whose basic language of urban communication
is water. All civilizations and cultural environments recognize the fountain in such a role, although they give it different meanings. Fountains can be classified typologically or according to the way in which they participate in urban spatial composition. As styles in architecture changed through history, so did also the formalstylistic and spatial-compositional dimensions of the fountain.
