The water features are located at Crown Casino, a vast complex
extending along the Yarra River between Southgate and the Melbourne
Convention Center. Composed of interior and exterior work, the water
features range in form, choreography and technology. The Season's of
Fortune, Southern Porte Cochere, Revelry, Brigades and Celebration
are designed for entertainment and interaction, creating a variety of
experiences for the guests of Crown Casino.

BRIGADES
Gently flowing water veneers the textured granite faces of six towers
that are located on a promenade at the Crown Casino along the Yarra
River in Melbourne, Australia. The water that surfaces these towers is
quiet delicately textured and eminently "touchable", resulting in a
tactile experience for visitors to the river's edge during daylight hours.

At night, and in thunderous contrast to the tranquility of the daytime
water experience, giant spheres of fire issue at choreographed intervals
from the tops of the towers. Nine feet in diameter, these magnificent
flame clusters send out pyrotechnic illumination that transforms the
Crown Casino promenade and the entire river edge into an evening
experience of vibrancy and drama.
