The Anglo-Saxon way of life was drastically changed by the introduction of the Normans in the later eleventh century. At the time of the conquest, the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons in building design and cultivation. But there was no time for home life, domestic architecture, and decoration until the Normans had overcome the whole realm. Most often built upon windy summits, castles were basic structures that permitted their inhabitants to devote time and space to offensive and defensive schemes, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings frequently placed in only the most fecund, extensive valleys. Gardening, a quiet occupation, was unfeasible in these fruitless fortifications. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is exemplified in Berkeley Castle, which is most likely the most unscathed sample we have. The keep is reported to have been developed during the time of William the Conqueror. As a technique of deterring assailants from tunneling under the walls, an immense terrace surrounds the building. A scenic bowling green, covered in grass and bordered by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, creates one of the terraces.

The Dissemination of Water Fountain Design Innovation

The Dissemination of Water Fountain Design Innovation Contributing to the development of scientific technology were the published letters and illustrated publications of the time. They were also the principal method of transferring practical hydraulic facts and water fountain design ideas throughout Europe. An un-named French water fountain developer was an internationally celebrated hydraulic innovator in the late 1500's. His expertise in designing landscapes and grottoes with integrated and imaginative water features began in Italy and with mandates in Brussels, London and Germany. The book, “The Principles of Moving Forces,” penned towards the end of his life in France, became the definitive text on hydraulic mechanics and engineering. The publication updated crucial hydraulic advancements since classical antiquity as well as describing modern day hydraulic technologies.

Archimedes, the creator of the water screw, had his work highlighted and these included a mechanical means to move water. Sunlight heating up water in two containers concealed in a room adjacent to an ornamental fountain was presented in one illustration. What occurs is the heated water expanded, rises and locks up the pipes heading to the fountain, and thus leading to activation. Pumps, water wheels, water attributes and backyard pond concepts are mentioned in the book.
