Fort Worth Water Gardens (Philip Johnson design)

The Fort Worth Water Gardens, designed by architect Philip Johnson and opened in 1974, is an urban park and engineered water installation featuring distinct zones including an 'Active Pool' with terraced steps and falling water, a 'Quiet Pool', and a meditation area. The Water Gardens are located adjacent to the Fort Worth Convention Center and are recognized as a notable example of 20th-century landscape/architectural installation design in the city. The site has been a frequent setting for public events and for visitors engaging with experiential urban water architecture.
