The combination of Sculptures and Water Bodies has always been considered unique since the Roman Times. The garden was a place of peace and tranquillity – a refuge from urban life – and a place filled with religious and symbolic meanings. Roman garden designs were later adopted by Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, and even 20th century landscape architects.

 

Sculptures sometimes act as focal points in courtyards or plaza areas. They may be created from natural or artificial materials at a great variety of forms, colours and textures are possible. Stone and wood are some natural elements which may be employed to make sculptures.

Boboli Gardens in Florence (Italy)

Placement of a sculpture within a space depends upon sunlight and shadow patterns, which project the object in various ways during different times of the day. Night lights can also be adjusted to highlight the interesting aspects of the sculptures from various angles. The sculpture should be so located to take advantage of varying sight lines.

“Water Bodies” is the most interesting object in landscape design. Water can be a prominent feature in the landscape. It may be used in the form of fountains or pools for its reflective qualities, differences in sound or cooling effect. Programming the flow of water in fountains is done by an electronic timing system which may also control the night light sequence. The water flow and lighting must be coordinated to achieve maximum effect. Sculptural elements of granite or concrete can be integrated in a water cascade or fountain effect.
