Kings Square will be defined by a series of sculptural stone waves which flow around the four edges of the square, inspired by world famous Severn Bore. Weaving through the trees and soft landscaping, the waves create a range of spaces from small pocket gardens to larger amphitheatres. The stone waves also provide the functional requirement of seating and steps whilst guiding visitors to the centre of the square where a series of choreographed jet fountains are located. With the fountains turned off the centre of the square is converted into a flexible event space which can be used to support Gloucester’s rich creative community.
