The Water Cube, located at the parklet of the 8th Street block of Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh, is an artist-designed water fountain that offers both still and sparkling water. This permanent public art piece, created by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust in collaboration with GBBN Architects EdgeStudio and supported by the Colcom Foundation, aims to provide a unique amenity for residents and visitors, reduce the consumption of bottled water, and enhance the beauty of the 8th Street block of Penn Avenue.
The Water Cube, featuring the first public sparkling water fountain in the United States, has quickly become a popular gathering place, sparking conversations and attracting bicyclists and pedestrians. Its opening during the 2016 Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival marked a significant addition to the functional public artwork presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust throughout the Cultural District.
