Journey | Beneath the 64-Foot Waterfall in Houston ๐๏ธ ๐
Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park in Houston ๐๏ธ ๐บ๏ธConstructed in 1985, this iconic park was designed by the Pulitzer Prize-winning architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee. ๐ฟ ๐With its highly sculptural and abstract design, it imbues both philosophical and historical significance. The stark contrast in scale between the grand archway and the cascading waterfall has made it a renowned landmark in Houston ๐ ๐ฌ. The structure stands at an impressive 64 feet tall, featuring a semi-circular architectural form.๐ด Its inner and outer walls create a double-layered water curtain, with a water circulation rate of up to 11,000 gallons per minute ๐ง. The forceful impact of the flowing water generates a unique magnetic field area, where one might feel a slight sense of imbalance while standing beneath it ๐ฒ. ๐๏ธStanding beneath this magnificent waterfall is incredibly soothing, earning it the reputation as a "sacred place that balances the spirit and the mundane" ๐ฟ ๐. It's a perfect spot to reflect, meditate, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature amidst the urban landscape ๐ด. ๐ Address: 2800 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX ๐บ๏ธ #HoustonLandmark #Texas #AestheticLiving #Let's Watch a Waterfall Together ๐
