a place to bathe...
http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/interests/wellness/offer-Activities_Excursions-Winter_Relaxing-26726.html
Many cultures have different bathing rituals. The ultimate goal is relaxation and revival. I am doing research on Roman Bathing Rituals. I find it interesting how open and comfortable people were to bathe around eachother. However, I would like to take the idea of the roman bath house and modernize it. In sticking to the main functions of Roman bathing: a tepidarium, which is a warm pool, a frigidarium, which is a cold pool, and a caldarium, which is a hot room. I feel that not only is water a main focus for this project, but the human interaction and the sense of touch. Whether this be a massage or a guide to help these customers into the water. More research on code standards and comfort needs to be done.
