(via) This building in the Kunsthofpassage area of Dresden, Germany sports a beautiful labyrinthine series of funnels cascading down one of its walls. Urban legend has it that they play music whenever the rain pours down through them, but we’ve seen a few videos of the contraption (including the one above), but none of them have ever revealed any of the supposed “music”. Maybe it’s really pianissimo and too delicate to discern in the rain. Either way, it would be cool if an architect, an engineer, and a musician got together to make this happen properly in Vancouver, where it rains from time to time and there’s a deficit of whimsical exterior decoration. Maybe they could add a giant poodle, too.
