Thermal Baths of Bande

In the surroundings of the Roman Archaeological Site of Aquae Querquennae, the open-air thermal baths of Bande shall be completed with the construction of a centre to enhance and use the medicinal mineral water that flows out of the ground.

A collection of precise volumes that contain the tanks of water with diverse utilities are connected through a spine, always in relationship with the exterior frigidarium. The pool remains calm inside the forest and the medicinal water causes a placid ambiance for leisure.

A system of pathways guides the visitors towards the external mineral baths. The interior spaces are enlightened from skylights and connected with the natural environment through selected voids in the walls.
