Summary: Have Seen Better
Comment: Although beautifully photographed and living up to its title of "Contemporary" (was printed in 2005), I have seen better pools and gardens in Asia (having lived there for 10 years). I felt the author/editor needed to have dug a little more deeply to find more enchanted gardens, of which there are many throughout the region. Overall, it didn't inspire me, a bit boring and the colour of the photographs is a bit bleached out.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Saddened
Comment: I was disappointed that so many of the photos were taken at the same locations and used thoughout the book - I would have preferred to see additional sites. I was very excited by the cover photo but I'm afraid that I was left very ho-hum by the end of the book, not only by the duplicates, but even the chosen sites were not as dazzling as I imagined they would be from that part of the world. I had planned to purchase other books in this series but now that is very doubtful.

Summary: Asians Just Seem to do Pools Better
Comment: I don't know why, but it seems that the Asian, and particularly the tropical Asian artechiture has a much better understanding of the use of water, expecially flowing water than we do in this country. Particularly they seem to have a sense of combining water with stone and wood that gives a serene look often missing in the usual US designs.

This is a spectacular picture book of mostly small pools incorporated into the private garden of a house. They are mostly located in Bali, Singapore and Thailand. The architecture of the houses that go with these pools, often just an outside porch is all you can see, reflect the climate of these tropical locations.

As with all such books, this is an idea book that first is pleasing to the eye, and second can be used in the design of the new house you are working on.
