Spa: Beauty, Health & Design - Beau Livre

The term " spa " comes from the Latin acronym sanitas per aqua. The European origin of the world confirms a long tradition, deeply rooted in the continent's history. From steam baths in the Turkish hammams, through wine therapy in France and thalassotherapy in Greece, to th Alpine thermal baths, Europe counts with a large network of establishments of this kind. Located by the seaside, in the mountain, or right in the heart of the citied, spas attract a very wide audience nowadays, and therefore, they also appeal to architects and interior designers who see these spaces as the new temples of contemporaneity.
