Waterscapes are constructed water features in urban public plazas and parks designed to harness both the hydrologic cycle and the aesthetic qualities of water. They celebrate the role of water in our urban landscapes and allow people to experience the qualities of water through touch, sight and sound.
This site explores how waterscapes are designed to be both ecologically functional and culturally expressive.
