After decades of being banished from residential areas, water is
now becoming an increasingly significant feature in urban design.
Whether it is the integration of natural water courses into the
built environment, rainwater management, the incorporation of water
elements in urban areas for climatic purposes or the creation of
oases of tranquility or drama such as pools or fountains - all
these aspects are not only encountering renewed interest among
architects and urban planners, but they are also greeted with
appreciation by the general public. This book reveals the wide
variety of possibilities for using water as a creative element in
the city, in art, in the landscape and architecture. The works are
organized in seven categories and encompass large-scale
masterplans, urban plazas and parks, river restaurations but also
interior design schemes and art objects. Amongst the works
documented are the landscape design for Dubai Business Park, a
river restauration in Bishan Park in Singapore, landscaping for a
new town in Tianjin, China, the schemes for Telecom Park, Taipei
and Vuores Central Park in Tampere, Finland, and the design for
Civic Square Seattle. Herbert Dreiseitl, born in 1955, is a
sculptor, water artist and landscape architect. After his studies,
he set up his office, Atelier Dreiseitl, in UEberlingen on Lake
Constance in 1980. He has realised numerous projects in the fields
of stormwater management, water art and landscape architecture. He
is active in lecturing worldwide and his work is widely published.
Dieter Grau, born in 1963, gardener and landscape architect, has
been working for the Atelier Dreiseitl since 1994. In 1996 he
became head of the landscape architecture department there. He is
involved in planning projects around the world and lectures
frequently.
