Thermal Blue – Designing a Thermal Bath
PREMISE
The definition of Thermal Bath has changed. From a place to heal and recover from diseases, it has become a destination for social integration. They are now a local catchment for tourists, contributing significantly to the economy and contextual rejuvenation of cities. Be it baths of Budapest, lagoons of Iceland, or springs of Japan – they are popular tourist destinations. An avenue for people to maneuver and in the process redefine what thermal bath has meant in historic times.
CHALLENGE
Aim of the challenge is to design a thermal bath that expands beyond its function of being a place to heal. A place to gather and socialize, that adds value to the local context.
