A single question started it all:
How to design a medical spa that heals not just people, but an entire town?
This is the story of finding our answer.
1. THE CHALLENGE:
Turning a forgotten site, a symbol of decay, into a new beacon of health
2. THE VISION // Urban Acupuncture:
Thinking beyond the building. We defined the spa as a strategic act of Urban Acupuncture – a precise, heading impulse for the town.
3. THE ARCHETYPE // Integrated Center:
This vision required a new hybrid model: an Integrated Health & Prevention Center that merges medical rehabilitation, proactive diagnosis, and holistic well-being.
4. THE SPATIAL CONCEPT // Extracting the Treasure:
The architecture translates this into a vertical journey – Extracting the Hidden Treasure from the earthbound Source to the airy Horizon.
5. THE STRATEGY // The Constitution:
These pieces form our project’s “constitution” – a clear framework for every decision
6. THE NEXT STEP:
The strategy is set. Now, the analytical work begins. Follow along for Design Log #02.
