The book’s assessment of many entities in the ecological-system -of which architecture is an essential part- is crafted around various water structures: reservoirs, tanks, and step-wells; highlighting the interconnected relationship between water and its container. Through formal, scholastic, and textural readings supported by rich illustrations -both photographs and drawings of the water structures in Jodhpur, the author takes readers on a captivating journey tracing the flows of water. This book is an excellent commentary on the domestication of water, flowing and traveling through various drainage basins received and contained in well-crafted architecture, managed by ingenious networks and systems. In the end, the author argues upon changing paradigms of the spatiality of water, hoping to invoke a sense of responsibility and conversation amongst many stakeholders dealing with the purposeful regeneration of urban infrastructure. https://www.amazon.in/Spatial-Ecology-Water-Meghal-Arya/dp/8190852841 | ||
