Water architecture in South Asia represents some of the most beautiful and spectacular building achievements of the region. This study provides a holistic approach to the subject, suggesting common links and regional contrasts between types of water structures and their contexts, with a comprehensive interpretation of the history and meaning of water architecture in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Five types of water structures are identified. Their development is traced from simple to more complex forms, considering how these accommodate secular and religious functions, and present expressions of sacred and royal authority. This publication is the first reference work on the subject. Many of the structures discussed and illustrated here have never been published before. Its comprehensive approach will have a wide relevance for other South Asian disciplines.

"The book presents a methodology that uses a collaborative ground for research and design in interior architecture and focuses on water in domestic interiors in the scope of consumption habits, experiences, cultural attitudes and sustainability. The proposed methodology and related processes provide data for design, and create multiple discussion platforms within project studios as well as other design mediums for academics and professionals. The topic is discussed through the process, theoretical discussions and designed products that were revealed in scope of the International Masters Workshop 2022 of IMIAD (International Master of Interior Architectural Design) entitled "See The Water". In addition to expressing a physical action, the word "See" also connotates making visible, revealing and understanding what cannot be seen directly. It is aimed to unveil water's implicit journey in domestic interiors by discussing both the visible and invisible concepts of water and to discuss the problems at the micro-scale for achieving solutions at the macro-scale. Present approaches within the literature give cause to evaluate the profession over mostly finished and pictorial products rather than ontological and processual means. As a result, the context of the profession is perceived as ornamentation, cladding or decoration rather than spatial and contextual design. The methodology and design approaches presented within the book focus on design thinking and process development together with the final products. Readers will be able to see different perspectives about interior design processes as well as different representation methods in the context of interior architecture"--

De centrale probleemstelling van het onderzoek is de definiëring van het begrip Fine Dutch Tradition: hoe definieer je dat binnen de stedenbouwkundige context en hoe werden en worden de stedenbouw en de civiele techniek en hun interactie erdoor beïnvloed worden? De hypothese die in dit onderzoek getoetst wordt is: de Fine Dutch Tradition (in de stedelijke context) is een vorm van verstedelijking, die gebaseerd is op een grote samenhang tussen hydrologie en bodemcondities (als object van studie binnen de civiele techniek) en het bouwen van steden (het stedenbouwkundig ontwerp). Het onderzoek beweegt zich tussen de domeinen van geschiedenis, techniek en stedenbouw en gebruikt methodisch een architectuurhistorische aanpak
