Thermal baths Yverdon, five senses in architecture
Kupcová, Tereza ; Křikavová, Iva (referee) ; Koleček, Ivan (advisor)
Spa is located on the outskirts of the Swiss city of Yverdon. Area is surrounded by disparate buildings especially residential character. There are historical buildings on the land and buildings of the spa and hotel. The current spa and the outbuilding of hotel don´t meet requirements, that´s why the buildings will be replaced by a new complex. Neighbourhood doesn´t have any relationship with the spa, that´s why the whole land is surrounded by a wall. Water surface with three “floating” pavilions is inserted into this closed spa park. There are the public spa, the therapeutic spa and the part of the hotel on the water surface. Each of them works largely independently; they are connected by the water surface. The complex is separated by a part of shallow water from the park. It´s solitaire in the park, but it has close connection with it. The spa complex is located near the forest on the south part of the land, because the whole system is quite open.

The spa area is located in western Switzerland in Yverdon-les-Bains, which extends along the southern shores of Lake Neuchâtel. The aim was to replace the current Spa complex which capacity and operationally not meet today's requirements and also to increase capacity accommodation in the form of hotel. New spa complex is placed as solitaire in the area between the spa parks which creates fluent transition between them. Spa function is divided into multiple objects that have their own character, but which in their complexity creates one house. These objects "float" on the surface of the water, unites them and divides its operations at the same time.

Memory overflow

Since Japanese architecture is deeply rooted in a place, the right choice of location was very important. It had to be a place that I know very well and spent a lot of time there in the past. I have experienced it over the years and seasons. When considering the location, I also thought about what I want to create there. In my pre-diploma, I analyzed the basic building types for Japanese architecture: house, tea houe, shrine and temple. With that naturally came the question of how to adapt these forms in our country without creating ordinary copies or having to mark these buildings. How do those forms differ from our counterparts? What shaped them? Of course, the different environment and technical requirements for buildings (high humidity, frequent earthquakes) played an important role, but ritual was one of the essential aspects. The Japanese value norms and rules very much. This means that customs were an integral part, not only of architecture. The tea house was created by adapting to the needs of the tea ceremony. The Shinto temple emphasizes the sacred way to the object through the torii gate, rinsing the hands and mouth - just like in the tea ceremony, donating a gift to the temple (a few small coins) and saying a prayer. The house itself has a correlation with several rituals of everyday life, from ikebana, through the preparation of meals to cleansing the body. The motif of purification is central to all three forms. To clarify, a Japanese bath works like this: first you rinse your body outside the bath with a shower. Then you enter the bath, which is only for relaxation. It is important to enter the bathtub completely clean, because the whole family will use the bathtub for one fill during the evening. This kind of ritual is not limited only to households. Japan is a country rich in thermal springs, the so-called onsens. Many of them, as part of accommodation facilities, are a very popular place for regeneration. Slovakia, as a much smaller country, also has considerable thermal wealth. Most of them are used commercially in our country. In the place near the village of Kalameny under the Chočské vrchmi, where I spent my holidays since childhood, the place where my grandparents come from, one of these springs springs up. The famous thermal baths Lúčky and Liptovský hrad are located nearby. The goal of this work is to implement spatial forms in the given location inspired by the ritual of tea, the ritual of purification and the visit to the temple, as well as the connection of connections between “European” and “Japanese”, which have not yet been connected.
