For one of my Focus week activities i decided to look at the Diana Memorial situated in Hyde Park. The design has always been seen by Landscape Architects as being a complete shambles but i wanted to judge for myself if the design was worth how much it cost and also to see if the general maintenance of the whole design is kept to a high standard. The fountain was built with the best materials, It contains 545 pieces of Cornish granite - each shaped by the latest computer-controlled machinery and pieced together using traditional skills. The design aims to reflect Diana's life, water flows from the highest point in two directions as it cascades, swirls and bubbles before meeting in a calm pool at the bottom. The water is constantly being refreshed and is drawn from London's water table.
