"The large-scale fountain sculpture offers, on the one hand, a place of retreat and lingering at this busy traffic intersection, thanks to its structural design, and on the other hand, the object is designed in such a way that its special brick structure creates a space that is permeable to air and light," says the Graz-based artist collective "Breath Earth Collective", who will implement the project.

The Windcatcher fountain sculpture has stood on Europaplatz in St. Pölten since 2024. It was erected as a new landmark as part of the square's redesign, replacing the former fountain. The sculpture is made of approximately 16,000 handmade bricks and forms an open rotunda equipped with an irrigation system. This system provides cooling and improves the microclimate through flowing water and evaporation.

Inside, there is a tree surrounded by a bench. The structure also reduces noise, reduces particulate matter, and provides habitat for birds and insects. The design combines ecological function with a pleasant atmosphere and was implemented with the participation of the local community, who were able to symbolically sponsor bricks. The Windcatcher thus represents climate awareness, sustainability, and social cohesion.
