Course description
The studio course focuses on a landscape, rich in thermal mineral springs, at a remote mountainous area of the Prefectureof Xanthi, near the borders between Greece and Bulgaria. The study area is on the verge of a small settlement, a place with important geographical and historical particularities. The site will become a kind of platform to devise structures and also the physical context for analysis, programming, and design of special facilities. A key aim of the design studio, consist the concept of an holistic integration of architectureinto the specific natural environment associated with the existenceof thermal mineral springs in the area. Facilities: thermal spa facilities, spa, etc. along with accommodation and ancillary facilities should be developed so as to operate with relative autonomy, yet at the same timebe perceived as a unique whole and as a context, flexible to create interactive relationships and open passages into a direct relationshipwith the landscape . So the design of the building construction
demands a gradual "dilution" to the landscape and its transformation into a walk‐ passage
