Therme Vals, the spa complex built in the Swiss Alps by architect Zumthor, became an icon of contemporary architecture soon after its opening in 1996. Inspired by majestic surroundings, Zumthor built the structure on the sharp grade of an Alpine mountain slope with grass-topped roofs to mimic Swiss meadows, captured here in a series of images. The book features the architect's own original sketches and plans for its design as well as H幨鋝e Binet's photographs of the structure. Architectural scholar Sigrid Hauser contributes an essay on such topics as Artemis/Diana, Baptism, Mikvah, and Spring, drawing out the connections between the elemental nature of the spa and mythology, bathing, and purity.--Publisher
