LIDO - CHRISTOPHER BEANLAND GEBUNDEN

A celebration of outdoor swimming looking at the history  design and architecture of pools  as
well as the social aspect. The 1930s architecture of the pools is often sleek and elegant 
evoking speed and efficiency. And the pools themselves are great social levellers - a public
space where everyone is stripped down to a bathing suit. The book begins with a history of the
pools - their grand beginnings after the buttoned-up Victorian era  their falling popularity in
the 20th century  and the newfound appreciation for the outdoor pool  or lido  and outdoor
swimming in the 21st century.
