The fountain also has its own Facebook page, a collection of amateur snaps and popular memories that has attracted more than 500 “likes” and continues to feature in lists of the world’s most beautiful fountains, alongside the Trevi Fountain in Rome and the Bellagio in Las Vegas.According to the long-time Abu Dhabi resident Ramesh Menon, part of the reason for the Volcano Fountain’s cherished place in Abu Dhabi’s collective memory is the role that it played in the community for almost 20 years.“Before the malls were built, the Volcano Fountain was the meeting place for Abu Dhabi residents and tourists alike, and before the internet, when snail mail was still popular, it was a place where people would gather to swap letters and to catch up on each other’s news.”The memories gathered by Dr Bambling and her collaborator in the workshop, the architect Deborah Bentley from Abu Dhabi University, will then form part of an archive that will form the basis of the UAE national pavilion, a museum of memories, photographs, stories, articles and historic documents that will tell the story of Abu Dhabi’s architectural development from 1914 to the present.
