Landscape designer and member of the Associazione Italiana Architetti per il Paesaggio (Italian Association for Landscape Architects) since 1988, Ermanno Casasco participated in ForumPiscine 2009 with a session titled: The project and design of the wellness pool. From the interview realized by Alice Spiga, from the editorial staff of the quarterly Piscine Oggi (Ed. Il Campo), emerges the importance of a naturalistic intention during the design phase and in the realization of a pool. According to Casasco the pool needs to be one with the environment that hosts it because it reflects colors and forms.

On the occasion of the ForumPiscine edition in 2009, Skip Phillips held a session titled The vanishing edge pool. Recognized as one of the most influential pool designers in the world, Phillips illustrates design criteria, structural considerations and application possibilities of the vanishing edge technology, also known as overflow waterfall on one or more sides. The interview realized by Alice Spiga, from the editorial staff of the quarterly Piscine Oggi (Ed. Il Campo), highlights key points of pool design from both an aesthetic perspective and technical one.
