A Bath House in Suzhou, China

The thesis is about an urban bathhouse in Suzhou, China that explores the relationship of the time honored traditions with modern customs and building techniques.

Traditional bath house in memory is always crowded, confined, dim and toneless. The project seeks a new possibility for a modern bath house by studying the structural order and light quality, to make the bath house not only a place for body hygiene, but also a place for mind relaxation and rejuvenation.
