The pool is an aspirational motif that recurs across the history of
residential architecture, no matter which era or location. From the
impressive palace baths of Europe and the magnificent pools of
luxurious mansions and country estates, to the stylish and
contemporary designer terraces and the humble, tucked away
inner-city courtyards of the average home in all structures the
themes of style, engineering, and design are standard. In Pools:
Design and Form with Water, renowned photographer Miquel Tres
spectacular full-color images and detailed narratives showcase a
wide selection of pool designs from around the world. This book
features a multitude of examples in a wide range of styles: natural
chemical-free pools with purifying systems; rustic pools which use
local materials and natural depuration methods in sometimes rural
settings; contemporary dazzlers and designer pools for interior and
exterior spaces, including illuminated designs and other modern
features. Pools will help the aspiring landscape or interior
designer to determine the latest trends and to consider strong
garden contexts and landscape planning, outdoor pool-site plans,
materials and furniture.
