The Dispersion of Water Fountain Design Technology

The Dispersion of Water Fountain Design Technology The circulated papers and illustrated publications of the time contributed to the advancements of scientific innovation, and were the chief methods of spreading useful hydraulic information and water fountain ideas throughout Europe. An internationally renowned leader in hydraulics in the later part of the 1500's was a French water fountain designer, whose name has been lost to history. His competence in making gardens and grottoes with integrated and ingenious water fountains began in Italy and with commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. “The Principles of Moving Forces”, a book that became the fundamental text on hydraulic technology and engineering, was written by him towards the end of his lifetime in France. Classical antiquity hydraulic advancements were outlined as well as changes to key classical antiquity hydraulic advancements in the publication.

Archimedes, the developer of the water screw, had his work featured and these included a mechanical way to move water. An ornamental water feature with the sun heating up the water in two containers stashed in an adjacent area was shown in one illustration. What occurs is the hot liquid expanded, rises and locks up the conduits heading to the water feature, thereby leading to activation. Yard ponds as well as pumps, water wheels, and water feature concepts are included in the publication.

The Effect of the Norman Conquest on Anglo Saxon Landscaping

The Effect of the Norman Conquest on Anglo Saxon Landscaping The Anglo-Saxon way of life was significantly changed by the appearance of the Normans in the later eleventh century. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. However the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could concentrate on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Because of this, castles were cruder structures than monasteries: Monasteries were usually significant stone buildings located in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their inhabitants dedicated time and space to projects for offense and defense. Peaceful pastimes such as gardening were out of place in these destitute citadels. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is depicted in Berkeley Castle, which is perhaps the most unscathed example we have. The keep is said to date from William the Conqueror's time. An enormous terrace encompasses the building, serving as an obstacle to assailants trying to excavate under the castle walls. A picturesque bowling green, covered in grass and surrounded by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, makes one of the terraces.
