Contemporary Spas
This collection follows spa architecture built for the present day — thermal resorts, forest retreats, and purpose-built wellness complexes documented across Europe, Asia, and beyond. From Thermen Berendonck's Indian-inspired design in the Netherlands to Bucharest's sprawling Therme complex, these are spaces designed from the ground up for the ritual of bathing, distinct from the historic bathhouses and natural springs found elsewhere in the library.
