By designing gardens and grottoes with built-in and clever water attributes, he began his profession in Italy by getting Royal commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. He wrote a book entitled “The Principles of Moving Forces” towards the conclusion of his life while in France which came to be the fundamental tome on hydraulic technology and engineering. Modernizing principal hydraulic findings of classical antiquity, the publication also explains contemporary hydraulic technologies.

But the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Because of this, castles were cruder constructions than monasteries: Monasteries were often immense stone buildings located in the biggest and most fertile valleys, while castles were erected on windy crests where their residents dedicated time and space to tasks for offense and defense. Gardening, a quiet occupation, was impracticable in these fruitless fortifications. The finest example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent in modern times is Berkeley Castle. The keep is reported to have been invented during the time of William the Conqueror. As a technique of deterring assailants from tunneling underneath the walls, an immense terrace encompasses the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an ancient yew hedge trimmed into the form of crude battlements.
