Popis knihy

The Water Spaces of the World series has developed a reputation as the world's ultimate guide to incorporating water into architecture. This new volume will surely eclipse the success of the other titles in the series. It's a more enjoyable read and has even more wonderful interiors and landscapes, in which the inclusion of water was a priority. Images' Water Spaces books have a broad appeal and are consistently among Images' most popular titles. Water in architecture is valued for its cooling and calming effect, and this book shows in detail many designs that feature water, with many projects as intimate as they are grand! Beautiful colour photography is used to maximise the book's impact. Interiors and landscapes, corporate and commercial projects, as well as residential and institutional settings feature in this magnificent full-colour volume. More specifically, the book also includes ornamental fountains and indoor swimming pools and outstanding built projects which incorporate the use of water for ornamental or more practical reasons, and many for both.
