Classic Derivations

摘要

It might be something of a cliche, but it's often said that there's great wisdom in being willing and able to learn the lessons of history. In that spirit, I recently took advantage of an opportunity to sit in on a class in the history of art and architecture taught by my friend, landscape architect and regular WaterShapes contributor Mark Holden, who runs a 20-hour course on the subject as part of the Genesis 3 design curriculum. I've always been a fan of history - especially art history - and sitting in on the class was great fun. Not only did it take me back to the sort of college-level experience I once enjoyed so much, but it also gave me the feeling that something very powerful is happening in the watershaping industry.
