It is organized by swimming pool design--from glimmering infinity pools with a view of the ocean to dramatic cascading waterfall pools and those in lush garden settings. Ranging from beautifully landscaped backyards to dramatic beaches and tropical paradise surroundings, the stunning pool locales show creative examples of pools as architecture and organic forms. In the mix are seductive pools owned by such celebrities as Cher and Dianne Keaton and leading designers Bunny Williams and Carolyne Roehm, as well as masterpieces by famed architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, and Luis Barrag n. Splash concludes with a section on poolside elements, from tiled steps, patterned surfaces, and Jacuzzis to pool houses with outdoor showers, landscaping, furnishings, and much more. Every example evokes the enduring and irresistible appeal of the swimming pool.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational renown architecture and design photographer Tim Street-Porter has authored and photographed many successful books, including \u003ci\u003eCasa Mexicana, The Los Angeles House, Tropical Houses, Los Angeles\u003c\/i\u003e, and has coauthored numerous publications with his wife Annie Kelly, among them the Rooms to Inspire series and \u003ci\u003eCasa Mexicana Style\u003c\/i\u003e.
