One of my pet peeves too!I don't think we can tell if the structures on the fountain will be clear like the prior ones were. I'd love it, for sure, but setting my expectations low on this one.
I'll be happy if they eliminate the rockwork that broke up the smooth cascade of water. Took me years to get used to that abomination.
Those, and the tiles on the base note being aligned with the rest of the entrance. Part of the beauty of FW is/was its rigid geometry, symmetry, alignment. This is how FW's calm zen and aloof sublimity were made.
Carelessly abandoned in the case of the base. Probably abandoned deliberately so concerning the smooth cascade. Smoothness deemed unexciting, in need of pimping up, as they did with the rest of FW's decoration.
