Water Features In Interiors

Aditi Goenka, Prof. Apeksha Jain

Abstract


"Water" a symbol of life has been regarded as a very important element since ancient times. It is being used since ages as an inspiration to designers and artists. Water features are the most magnetizing and compelling of all design elements and are being used in variety of spaces like residences, healthcare centers, commercial spaces etc to create a soothing environment. Water being a element of nature creates a link between mind and the surroundings to make it relaxed. Water has mysterious powers that brings out positive responses in people and reduce stress in an individual. The soothing motion and rhythmic sound of water makes the brain conscious and concentrate on one point making one calm and relaxed. Hence designers and architects need to design biophillic designs such that people can be healed by the power of nature and live a higher quality of life.
