Summary:

"In this publication, distinguished experts discuss a whole range of aspects of working with water. Many international projects exemplify the wide variety of creative use of water in the city, in art, the landscape and architecture. Amongst the works documented are a large new city park in Portland, Oregon, a new concept for Queens Botanical Garden in New York, the conversion of a former airport in Oslo or the park for a new residential area in Oulu, Finland."--Jacket.
