Riverscapes are the main arteries of the world's largest cities, and have, for millennia, been the lifeblood of the urban communities that have developed around them. These human settlements - given life through the space of the local waterscape - soon developed into ritualised spaces that sought to harness the dynamism of the watercourse and create the local architectural landscape. Theorised via a sophisticated understanding of history, space, culture, and ecology, this collection of wonderful and deliberately wide-ranging case studies, from Early Modern Italy to the contemporary Bengal Delta, investigates the culture of human interaction with rivers and the nature of urban topography. Riverine explores the ways in which architecture and urban planning have imbued cultural landscapes with ritual and structural meaning.

Industry Reviews

Riverine provides nuanced and refreshing understandings of the relationship between architecture and rivers at a variety of scales and across diverse geographies. An excellent collection - essential reading for architects, planners and landscape architects. - Duanfang Lu, Professor of Architecture and Urbanism, The University of Sydney
