Book Synopsis
This book acts as a bridge between the topics of energy and water. It is an artfully crafted visual ode which imagines and reflects upon the intricate bond between the people who count on dams for energy and water, and the source that fuels this bounty. It is a tribute to the engineering feat so grand that it made Switzerland an energy hub in demand, providing the life-sustaining flow that drives our modern world. Candid and curious, this publication focuses on two things: the appearance and significance of the dam and power plant, and the appreciation of the structure as an impressive manifestation of civilization and culture in harmony with the spectacular nature and surroundings. With interviews and breathtaking photographs, this book delves into the history of the valley region and includes memories and opinions of those involved. Expert insights broaden the context and consider Emosson as an example of an intact symbiosis of nature and culture, and provide a glimpse of what is to come.
