Principles of Architectural and Landscape Design of Water Areas

Nowadays, the paradigm of coexistence with the planet’s aquatic environment is changing due to the impact of many factors, among which climate change plays a principal role. The importance and necessity of finding new rules for the coexistence of water and humans on the planet is a reality of our time. The Paper justifies the necessity of considering Water areas as an object of urban planning and landscape design. There are three main ideas that uncover the meaning of the subject according to the principles of designing Water areas: considering them as habitat environments, investigation of changes in the lives of the current generation in accordance with the necessity to adapt to climate change, studying a nation’s memory in a historical retrospective and in the process of searching for historical national identity. The study considers water depending on its physical state.
