The Architecture of Bathing, Hardback Book

The Architecture of Bathing Hardback

Hardback

Out of stock

Description

We enter the public pool, the sauna, or the beach with a heightened awareness of our bodies and the bodies of others.

The phenomenology of bathing opens all of our senses toward the physical world entwined with the social, while the history of bathing is one of shared space, in both natural and built environments.

In The Architecture of Bathing, Christie Pearson offers a unique examination of communal bathing and its history from the perspective of architecture and landscape.

Engagingly written and richly illustrated, with more than 260 illustrations, many in color, The Architecture of Bathing offers a celebration of spaces in which public and private, sacred and profane, ritual and habitual, pure and impure, nature and culture commingle.
