How Technical Concepts of Outdoor Spread
How Technical Concepts of Outdoor Spread The published papers and illustrated publications of the time contributed to the evolution of scientific innovation, and were the primary means of dissiminating practical hydraulic concepts and water feature ideas throughout Europe.
An unnamed French water feature designer came to be an internationally celebrated hydraulic leader in the later part of the 1500's. By designing gardens and grottoes with integrated and ingenious water features, he began his career in Italy by earning Royal commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. “The Principles of Moving Forces”, a guide that became the essential text on hydraulic technology and engineering, was authored by him towards the end of his lifetime in France. Classical antiquity hydraulic developments were outlined as well as changes to key classical antiquity hydraulic advancements in the publication. Prominent among these works were those of Archimedes, the inventor of the water screw, a mechanized means of moving water. Sunlight warmed the liquid in a pair of concealed vessels adjacent to the decorative water feature were shown in an illustration. Actuating the water fountain is heated water that expands and ascends to close up the pipes. Concepts for pumps, water wheels, water attributes and garden ponds are also included in the book.
Anglo-Saxon Gardens at the Time of the Norman Conquest
Anglo-Saxon Gardens at the Time of the Norman Conquest The Anglo-Saxon way of life was dramatically changed by the arrival of the Normans in the later eleventh century. The Normans were much better than the Anglo-Saxons at architecture and horticulture when they came into power.
But the Normans had to pacify the whole territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Because of this, castles were cruder structures than monasteries: Monasteries were frequently important stone buildings located in the biggest and most fecund valleys, while castles were constructed on windy crests where their citizens dedicated time and space to projects for offense and defense. The sterile fortresses did not provide for the peaceful avocation of horticulture. Berkeley Castle, maybe the most pristine style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists in the present day. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. A monumental terrace serves as a hindrance to intruders who would attempt to mine the walls of the building. On one of these terraces sits a stylish bowling green: it is coated in grass and flanked by an old yew hedge that is created into the shape of rough ramparts.
Anglo-Saxons experienced extraordinary changes to their day-to-day lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans.Engineering and gardening were skills that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation....
