| Sumario: | In this study the behavior of water in the pools which existed within the interior hall of the Western Pavilion of the central courtyard of the Palace of al-Badi' in Marrakech, Morocco, is analyzed. The study was made through an actual reduced scale (1:3) model that reproduces the shape, proportions and water supply and evacuation systems of these pools. The constant vibration of the surface of the water, a unique feature, was produced through various devices and was likely intended to impress the visitors thus achieving effects which alluded to poetic texts which were an integral part of the decoration of the room. |
