Emerging Butterfly Fountain. Plaza Las Fuentes. Pasadena.

            A bronze sculpure depicting an emerging butterfly is part of the fabulouse fountain complex at the beautiful Plaza las Fuentes with the historic City Hall in the background in old Pasadena, California.

Opened in 1989, the site includes an eight-story office tower, a twelve-story hotel, and retail spaces designed by Moore Ruble Yudell. Lawrence Halprin was selected to design an integrated landscape that would reflect the architectural style of the complex and the heritage of nearby old town Pasadena.

Halprin’s Moorish-influenced landscape includes pedestrian arcades and a series of distinct courtyards and terraced public gardens characterized by decorative paving and tilework, lush plantings, and a variety of pools, water channels and waterfalls which reflect the name of the plaza. The central element is a large courtyard anchored with several fountains decorated in hand-painted ceramic tiles. An entire wall of decorative tiles was designed by artist Joyce Kozloff, while sculptures by Michael Lucero and other artists are placed throughout the gardens.
