Where to Stay
Therme Vals, Switzerland.
The Therme Vals is a project of resistance, opposing the architecture of spectacle. Designed by Swiss architect, Peter Zumthor, the thermal baths at Vals is both a meditation on the essential elements – earth, wind, water & fire – and an economic initiative to drive tourism. The Therme Vals embodies the potential that architecture has to calm the body and mind in an ever increasing world of hyper speed, space and communications.
