Résumé:
Although others have written eloquently on the relationship of water to built form, until now no one has investigated the swimming pool as a quintessentially modern and American space, reflecting America's infatuation with hygiene, skin, and recreation. In The Springboard in the Pond, Thomas van Leeuwen looks at a familiar hole--the domestic swimming pool--and discovers an icon indispensable to the reading of twentieth-century modernism. At one level, the book is a rereading of modern architecture that will leave that story permanently altered. At another level, it is the story of the origin and evolution of the private swimming pool as a building type and cultural artifact. At still another level, it is a material philosophy of water. Van Leeuwen explores the human relationship to water from a variety of viewpoints: social, religious, artistic, sexual, psychological, technical, and above all architectural. Throughout the book, he weaves a series of analogies to three emblematic animals--frog, swan, and penguin--that represent the three prevailing human attitudes toward water: hydrophilia, hydrophobia, and ambivalence. The books many illustrations--drawings, plans, and photographs--come from an unusual variety of sources, creating what is surely the most provocative visual archive of the swimming pool ever assembled.

Résumé:
All the great cities of the world have witnessed the birth of bars and restaurants in the image of a new generation - a free and pleasure-loving generation who frequent them and identify with them. Today leading architects and designers have yielded to the temptation to try their hands at what was yesterday still considered a minor genre. From Philippe Starck to Aldo Rossi, from Gaetano Pesce to Ron Arad, all have enthusiastically taken part in this new adventure in design. This book offers nineteen lively places, often colourful and impertinent, always lively and playful, in a host of cities from New York to Mexico City, from London to Barcelona.
