Amangiri Thermal Bath Fall 2019 / Architectural Design Studio 1 / Prof. Judy Gordon A-A
Amangiri Thermal Bath Project was about the integral design of carving and subtractive elements inspired by Wendell Burnette Architects’ design of the Amangiri Resort in Canyon Point, Utah. The intent of this project was to explore the ideas of carving out spaces, the integration of natural lighting, and begin understanding the rules and requirements when it comes to designing in the real world. This was the first major project in K-State’s Architectural curriculum that introduces a program and requirements for structural needs.

My design’s intent was to use a directional lighting pattern to invite the user into each space to create an intimate journey within the thermal baths. This was done by creating reveals within the structure that acted as directions for the user. The rotated orthogonal geometry was used to emphasize the importance of the thermal baths. The primary idea was to create an experience that was intimate and mysterious, directing people through the spa without having to return to the same space twice.
