I got to photograph Anthony Acciavatti's instruments and sketchbooks that were used during the making of "Ganges Water Machine" before they are off to their new permanent home, Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In “Ganges Water Machine: Designing New India’s Ancient River,” Anthony Acciavatti orchestrates a magnificent portrait of the Ganges River Basin, and its continuous reinvention as a test-bed for infrastructural innovation. Through the hybrid genre of the Atlas-Almanac-Travelogue, the book unfolds the many nested spatial and temporal scales that characterize this highly contested territory. Those captivated with the planetary urbanization of water will find in this book a timely and relevant volume of encyclopedic ambition and exquisite design. - ArchDaily
