In building a swimming pool, the most careful designers know how to move between the two big options of organic and rational architecture, so well represented by the figure of Wright with his house on the waterfall and Le Corbusier with the white surfaces of his villas. In this chapter, we have gathered some projects able to be grouped within the rationalistic tradition: if the materials can defer local traditions, the structure is rigorously planned on the purity of line, on metric relationships and on controlled airy proportions, invisible threads that create a harmony subtly managed by reason. |
