Abstract
Water is far from being just a designer’s resource or a material: it begs to have its vital possibilities rediscovered. This starts at the beginning of the planning process for water projects, and involves linking up and integrating elemental themes. Knowledge of water’s particular qualities as a material are needed, and often experiments need to be conducted to give a real idea of the result that will ensue.
