Description

Une célébration de la culture de la piscine et de la piscine en plein air Christopher Beanland, journaliste et historien de l'architecture, explore l'histoire et la conception des piscines extérieures, ou lidos, dans ce livre magnifiquement illustré. Commençant par une histoire des piscines - leurs grands débuts après l'ère victorienne bouchée et leur popularité en baisse au XXe siècle - le livre explore ensuite la nouvelle appréciation de la natation en plein air au XXIe siècle. Vous y trouverez certaines des meilleures piscines extérieures du monde, y compris la piscine Icebergs sur la plage de Bondi, en Australie; la piscine d'eau de mer de 137 m à Vancouver, au Canada et la piscine restaurée Art Déco de Saltdean, au Royaume-Uni. Il existe également des essais sur les lidos perdus, les piscines dans l'art et l'importance des piscines extérieures en Australie et des entretiens avec des utilisateurs de piscines du monde entier. Le livre est entièrement illustré de photographies couleur captivantes et d'images d'archives.
