James Garland founded Fluidity Design Consultants in 2002, after 20 years of practice in water design, architecture, and urbanism. Jim began working in water at Wet Design as a consultant in 1986 while maintaining a private practice, then switching to full time in 1994 to ultimately become Wet’s Director of Design. Fluidity was established to create a new generation of water features conceived, crafted, and engineered for a more sustainable century with a fresh, invigorating aesthetic. Concurrently with directing Fluidity’s design efforts, Jim is writing two books about fountains: one covering a 2,000-year history of best examples, and the other on Fluidity’s projects and speculations about the future of water design.
