When superimposed over the country’s history, their timeline winds its way through ancient religions, warring empires, medical marvels, and contemporary pop culture, forming a vital part of the national identity.Combining photos, drawings, collages, and diagrams from over a decade of travel across the country, Towards a Nude Architecture explores this narrative through an architectural lens, presenting a visual journey of water and steam spanning centuries and geographies. In three chapters examining past, present, and future, the book looks at the spiritual roots of bathing, the diverse structures built around the tradition, and the lasting influence of this poetic mingling between architecture, nature, and the naked body. Facing declining visitors and increased privatization, compounded by recent global crises, the need to promote and preserve these bastions of public space is more crucial than ever.The speaker will be signing and stamping copies of his book, Towards a Nude Architecture: A Visual Compendium of Japanese Hot Springs, after the talk. Copies can be found online at Amazon or at the local bookstore Politics and Prose.About the Speaker  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/f9948e30-f9fd-11f0-953c-0b4fd2fcffda-rimg-w1200-h253-dc000000-gmir.png Yuval Zohar©Noriko Hayashi is an architect and designer working internationally.
