64. pOOLS AND STREams

30/7/2018

 
Water plays a fundamental role in our psychology however in cities it seems to be out of reach. Collect rainwater in open gutters and allow it to flow above ground, along pedestrian paths and in front of houses. Create swimming, ornamental and natural pools, streams, fountains, tiny garden pools and reservoirs. To ensure they are appreciated, give the place immediately around the water to contemplation. (Alexander 1977)

Le jARDIN sECRET

Marrakech, Morocco
​Water is a fundamental element of the Arab Muslim gardens & the fountains in the centre of the riad's are the beating heart of the house. If you follow the water paths you can see the  way in which the gravity fed water from the Atlas Mountains, is distributed throughout the riad.
