The Good, The Bad and The Ugly


Until you really start to look, there are a lot of water features in the City that can pass you by. Others have passed through the urban landscape and passed on, victims of the ravages of time or, more likely, of urban development.

With all things architectural and ornamental, there are rules and there is good practice. And then there is style, fashion and taste. Check out some of the installations and buildings that involve the urban cycle of water in – water out and make up your own mind.
