Building Description
The Studley Royal Water Garden is a large structure, with a winding serpentine lake cutting through it. This waterway is carefully constructed to have perfect edges, creating straight lines, circles, and semi circles. These elements add an unnatural shape to the water, while it is set in nature. There are grass walkways between each of the shapes, along with paths along the sides and buildings, statues, and benches decorating the garden. This building plays an important part in the social and symbolic meaning that this style of garden brings to history. It uses movement and sight to encapsulate its visitors in aesthetic scenery.
