This building incorporates functionality, harmony with the surroundings and beauty. Traditionally thermal bathes in Europe were made hundreds of yrs ago but following a fire these immortal bathes were rebuilt and reinvented attracting more visitors and also reemphasising the valuable qualities of modern architecture in conserving such historically significant landmarks.I find this building to be truly amazing due to its ability to utilise this natural resource of hot water in a way that conserves with integrity the spiritual nature of visiting a bathe, compared to simply ordinary pools.In my recent trip to France over the winter and to these bathes especially I felt a new since of realisation and respect to how significant the decisions by architects are in experiencing moments in life. It is truly amazing how one building can totally dictate the simple outcome of visiting a thermal bathe in this tiny valley in the French Alpes.
