These human settlements - given life through the space of the local waterscape - soon developed into ritualised spaces that sought to harness the dynamism of the watercourse and create the local architectural landscape. Theorised via a sophisticated understanding of history, space, culture, and ecology, this collection of wonderful and deliberately wide-ranging case studies, from Early Modern Italy to the contemporary Bengal Delta, investigates the culture of human interaction with rivers and the nature of urban topography. \u003ci\u003eRiverine\u003c\/i\u003e explores the ways in which architecture and urban planning have imbued cultural landscapes with ritual and structural meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45239206740119,"sku":"9781138681750","price":14551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138681750.webp?v=1769221942","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/riverine-architecture-and-rivers-9781138681750","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
