His experience in creating landscapes and grottoes with built-in and brilliant water attributes began in Italy and with commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. “The Principles of Moving Forces”, a guide which turned into the essential book on hydraulic mechanics and engineering, was authored by him towards the end of his lifetime in France. Explaining the latest hydraulic systems, the book also modified key hydraulic developments of classical antiquity. The water screw, a technical means to move water, and invented by Archimedes, was featured in the book.
