| Sumario: | This article intends to provide an account of design experiences concerning the construction of trampolines and diving platforms during the first decades of the twentieth century in the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Rome, and Weston-super-Mare. The link between these three latitudes and the projects undertaken in each of them lies in the promotion of landmarks of modernity to promote the new cultural patterns of leisure and entertainment of the time. These patterns led to the construction and dissemination of projects that served as objects of publicity attraction for the public administration. Within this context, widespread public access to swimming pools and spas enabled designers to explore various fields of formal expression through their works. The spatio-temporal contexts that facilitated these opportunities are emphasized examining both the technical features that gave rise to these works and the symbolic outcomes achieved.
