Wellbeing as a notion gains importance day by day hand in hand with the status of healthiness. World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” on the one hand; on the other hand, Global Wellness Institution (GWI, 2017) stresses wellness as intellectual, religious and medical movements and modern concept with ancient roots beginning with the Ayurveda treatments followed by Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ancient Greek doctrines, Roman Medicine and movements in United States and Europe in 19th century. Today, wellbeing and being healthy are the ultimate goals that are difficult to endure due to increasing stress level in modern world, working environment with high- intensity and expectations from civilized human. As a result of these, people need to have treatments and experiences to relax and stay strong. In this content, spa spaces compel attention. As the word spa literally refers to the abbreviation of sanus (salus/ sanitas) per aquam that means health coming from water in Latin. The relation between human beings and water starts in the mother womb and continues in many forms. People are always attracted to water and this interest originates from different aspects like need for bathing, religious and spiritual rituals and the belief to curative powers of water. Bathing can take place where water exist as bathtub, shower or even river, sea, ocean, lake. While human baths throughout the history, the forms of bathing shaped according to different reigns, beliefs and politics. Thus, personal and public bathing spaces emerged in relation to these routines and rhetoric. In this thesis study, well-being and its spatial experience and spa design development and contemporary spa spaces, further to that, the emerging role of Turkish Hamam spatiality and its atmospherically penetration in contemporary spa design is also examined and discussed. Thesis consist of five main chapters: In first chapter; the purpose of thesis, literature review and hypothesis are stressed. To comprehend the definition of spa, the construction of spa spaces and the history behind these spaces and experiences literature study is done. In addition to that, a future projection is stressed throughout the evolution of spa in the context of hypothesis. In second chapter; the roots of bathing need, spa culture and their spatial typologies and the emergence of them are examined. In order to fully understand, spa rituals throughout the history beginning with Indus Valley, following to that Ancient Greek, Romans, Asia and Ottoman Empire Eras are discussed; further to that, the essential thresholds are examined in a timeline. In third chapter; planning a spa is analyzed deeply. In this content; spa types, determination of spa concept, spa design principals and obligations, spa components and spatial requirements, layout needs and user flows are revealed.xxi In fourth chapter; under the indications and inputs of previous chapters, the spatial aspects and criteria that affect spa experience are specified. In this content, since in modern world, the boundaries between spa types are getting ambiguous and the spas are evolved into “days spas” where users can reach any time they want and “destination spas” where users need to plan a journey to use in practical use; one destination spa in Turkey (Canyon Ranch Kaplankaya) and one resort hotel spa outside of Turkey (Joali Maldives), one city hotel spa outside of Turkey (Villa Magna Madrid) and one city hotel in Turkey (Fairmont Quasar Istanbul) are dismantled in relation to defined criteria set. In considerations of these evaluations, the increasing demand to Turkish Hamam is observed and stressed. In fifth chapter, concluding remarks and future projections are discussed. In this part; in addition to the evaluations and sectional results, it is stressed that the significance of Turkish hamam is getting more and more important gradually with its flexible and convertible spatial aspects and utilization of spatial characteristics of Turkish Hamam emerges as an increasing demand in the design of contemporary spa ambient, while this find out is stressed and the reasons are briefly discussed on the final chapter.

This paper examines the relationship and commonality between contemporary cruise ship technologically, innovative interior concepts and the possible future evolution of the megayacht. Due to significant investment in developing new entertainment pathways from a multicultural perspective, the cruise sector is more progressive than the superyacht industry, which primarily focuses on exterior aesthetics and bespoke client luxury informed by cultural specificity. Moving beyond LY3 to the use of SOLAS PYC 13-36 on a larger interior area vessel platform than current superyachts, either monohull or catamaran, greater than 100m Loa, facilitates the opportunity to use the interior design meaning of a cruise ship with an atrium stairwell as a design focal point inspired by the emotional design of luxury hotels and a range of lounge variations to be used as an adaptable space. This paper presents a Transfer of Innovation (TOI) of a conceptual design approach to support the evolution of the megayacht towards a less egocentric product, informed by the design practices of the cruise ship industry. Addressing the market sector between superyachts and ultra-luxury cruise ships, through a new design meaning informed by technological innovation through the process of Design-Driven Innovation. Contemporary trends in cruise ship are rapidly evolving towards spectacularization and dematerialization. Entertainment is a core focus for cruise companies, immersing the passengers in a range of emotionally engaging experiences, which continuously change in space and time, resulting in the ever growing investments in entertainment technology. The passenger is attracted in an emotional path, constructed to give surprise and delight at every corner, through formal stereotypes, pop culture, and live shows. The main key trends of which are discussed, such as the use of large adaptable spaces, and the creation of a continuous passengers’ flux along the ship in an urban-like environment, where different design languages meet.

From the early 1920s through the 1930s, an important yet forgotten avant-garde architectural phenomenon developed in the Zionist community of British Mandate Palestine. In cities and resort regions across the country, several dozen modernist hotels were built for a new type of visitor: the Zionist tourist. Often the most architecturally significant structures in their locales and designed by leading local architects educated in some of Europe’s most progressive schools, these hotels were conceived along ideological lines and represented a synthesis of social requirements, cutting-edge aesthetics, and utopian national ideals. They responded to a complex mixture of sentiments, including European standards of modern comfort and the longing to remake Palestine, the historical homeland of the Jewish people, for a newly liberated, progressive nation. This article focuses on Jerusalem’s most ambitious modernist hotel, the Eden Hotel, to evaluate how the architecture of tourism became a political and aesthetic tool in the promotion of Zionist Palestine.

In early 50's The Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) made a severe nation-wide attempt to develop tourism in Greece, connecting it with economy and qualitative tourism. For a period of about two decades it developed the hotel buildings's substructure, a project known as the "Xenia project". During this period Greek architects, devoted to modernism, such as Ch., and also D. Pikionis, designed and supervised, as Technical Bureau's employees, 53 hotel compounds, spread throughout Greek regions of the mainland and the islands, with archaeological, topological or other touristic interest. This project's policy was meant "to offer tourist accommodation in high class hotels, and also to show to private investors the aspired level of the new hotel facilities, that should be constructed in order to develop tourism as the new profitable, financial field in which the state aimed for". Today the Xenia hotels are internationally recognized as part of o...

During the period of Modernity1 and especially in the 1960s, in Greece, the architectural “production” of buildings, particularly in the hotel setting, offered a plethora of successfully completed settlements in every aspect. A series of hotel facilities designed from 1955 to 1965, on public or private supervision and funding, including a number of Xenia Hotels (public investment program) and Amalia Hotels (private investment) are typical examples. In these projects, not only did the architects who developed them emphasize the design itself of the building-shells, as morphological and functional entireties, but they also moved forward to the design of the interior spaces and their individual components, approaching each building as a whole.In this way, they were not only involved in the architectural design of the shell; they designed equally both interior spaces and each element contained in the building-shell, such as special structures (partitions, fireplaces), lighting, and even the decorative elements including works of art selection (paintings, sculptures), but mostly they placed emphasis on their furniture design of both communal areas (reception, living rooms) and private spaces (room space). Architects such as Aris Konstantinidis, Jason Triantafillidis, Nikos Valsamakis and many others, developing hotel complexes, also designed, as a continuation of their architectural study, the furnishings of both interior and exterior areas in a holistic approach2. This designing approach did not only encompass the functional organization of spaces but it also proposed materials-textures-constructions-colors, so that the qualitative characteristics of these works were in harmony with Modernity and its principles, which the building itself contained. These buildings had a voice through their construction details, overall designs and architectural structure3. The designing quality of the furniture is a reference point for architects as far as design, materials and technology of the time, are concerned. The use of metals, with the example of the standardized crosssections, brings the concept of the standardization technology and the construction economy, the use of wood and its processing in ways of connection that generate results and an aesthetic similar to that of the architecture they represent. It is a design that is entirely consistent with the aesthetics and principles of Modernity, where the furnishing is its "Micro-Architecture" approach in micro-scale, as if the architect is recreating the building itself through the furniture design and its construction details and re-formulates the aesthetic principles he has used with clarity and completeness. This paper focuses on the exploration of the functional and morphological principles that have been used in hotel equipment’s design during the period of Modernity in Greece. Also the interaction developed between projects of public and private investments and their relationship as well as the basic principles of functionality and form of the architectural works, is investigated during this period. As a methodological tool, case studies and archival material will be used: the Xenia hotels of Mykonos (1960) and Poros (1964), projects of the architect Aris Konstantinidis, the Xenia Hotel of Nafplion (1958), a work of Jason Triantafyllidis, as well as the Amalia hotels of Athens (1958) and Delphi (1963) works of the architect Nikos Valsamakis. The case of furniture design of the hotel spaces passes through the architectural design of the building and is inextricably linked with the style, rhythm, quality of space and architecture, in general.

A Dynamic Hub Dedicated to Youth and a Villa Complex Inspired by Rice Fields: 8 Unbuilt Resorts Submitted by the ArchDaily Community - Featured Image

Long celebrated as havens of relaxation and luxury, resorts offer guests an escape from the mundanity of daily life. These sanctuaries seek to offer lavish accommodations, scenic locations, and comprehensive experiences. From sun-drenched beaches to mountain retreats, or secluded spots in the wilderness, resorts can take a variety of forms, each offering a unique experience. The history of architects designing resorts is intertwined with the development of the hospitality industry and the concept of leisure travel. In the realm of architecture, resorts allow designers to meld functionality with luxury living, creating spaces that offer experiences beyond just residences .

The Multifunctional complex “Next Collection” in Georgia by SPECTRUM Architecture illustrates this by adopting organic forms that blend into the seaside, while “Ethereal Mountains” by the Maden Group in Albania seeks to foster youth engagement in a breathtaking landscape . In Indonesia , the Villa complex “Olympus” by Geometrium Studio presents a unique structural concept where each villa’s roof acts as the terrace for the one above, echoing the rice fields of Bali . In this week’s curated selection of unbuilt resorts, submitted by the ArchDaily community , these themes are explored in different settings and design conditions.

The history of architects designing resorts is intertwined with the development of the hospitality industry and the concept of leisure travel. The origins can be traced back to ancient times when the Romans built luxurious villas and bathhouses as retreats for the wealthy. However, the modern notion of resorts emerged during the 19th century with industrialization and the growing middle class seeking recreational experiences.

At a very high standard of luxury, resort hotels provide an immersive and rejuvenating vacation experience. These resorts are frequently rooted in beautiful landscapes in remote locations, often containing full-service accommodations, offering escapism and complete disconnection. Architects have continued to shape the resort landscape in recent decades with their designs. Sustainability and integration with natural surroundings have gained importance as architects strive to create environmentally conscious and immersive resort experiences.

Architects play an important role in creating healthy, functional and aesthetically pleasing environments. Interior design represents a natural continuation of the same prerogative, and its importance has been accentuated in recent years, from the lockdown forcing many people to remain indoors for extended periods of time, to the rise of remote work. The task of the interior designer is not decorating spaces, but planning for an effective use of space, understanding the needs of the user and highlighting the intrinsic qualities of a space. Acoustics, lighting, material properties and proportions all play a role in achieving a coherent and enjoyable interior space.

This week’s curated selection of Best Unbuilt Architecture highlights interior design projects submitted by the ArchDaily community . From a pastel-colored library in Turkey to a renovated symphony hall in San Diego , US , this selection of unbuilt projects showcases how architects design interior spaces by integrating textures, materials, light, and color in well-proportioned spaces. The article includes projects from Turkey, US, Switzerland , Indonesia , UK , and Denmark.

David Frazier Creates a Sense of Place and Comfort for Clients

The New York City-based designer's work emphasizes warm modernism.

david frazier

Frazier set out to create a sense of place and comfort for his clients with the founding of his namesake architectural and interior design firm, David Frazier , in 2017. “As a kid, I always wanted to be an architect,” he says. “I would draw floor plans and elevations of houses and loved to study houses under construction.”

After graduating from Auburn University’s School of Architecture and completing a thesis at the school’s acclaimed design-build program Rural Studio, Frazier worked at the New York City-based design studio Meyer Davis. “It was my first job after graduation, and Will Meyer and Gray Davis were excellent bosses and mentors,” Frazier says.

At Meyer Davis, Frazier was given “a ton of responsibility and autonomy to become a leader and design and manage projects.” He even took on the renovation of the Rosewood Hotel Group’s famed luxury resort Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands, a former island retreat of the Rockefeller family.

When designing personalized, residential interiors with an emphasis on warm modernism, Frazier finds inspiration in his travels. “I love seeing new places and how different cultures live,” says the designer, who studied abroad in Rome and goes back every chance he gets. His go-to trick for delivering a big impact on a budget is painting a room dark in “all one color in varying sheens.”

Currently, Frazier is excited to see more people valuing well-made furniture—both antiques and new pieces. He’s also thrilled about the comeback of homes and spaces with individual rooms. “No more open concept, please,” he says. “At the moment, I am most excited about a circa-1919 Neel Reid -designed home that my parents are restoring in my hometown.”
