Sauna
This is a sauna design for an introductory architecture class taught by Peter Tagiuri. I was interested in the cleansing and transformative experience of the sauna ritual. Thus, I placed emphasis on the contraction and expansion of space, as well as various light arrangements to enhance the ritualistic experience.
