| dc.description.abstract | AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the spatial features of Japanese bathhouses, specifically the Sentō, as community centers. The study investigates the historical development of Japanese bathhouses and their design principles. It examines the social aspects of the Sentō and the reasons behind their transformation into community centers. The spatial elements of traditional Sentō are analyzed, followed by an evaluation of three contemporary renovated bathhouses in Japan. The design approaches of these bathhouses are compared and analyzed. The thesis also presents a design project for the Sentō Berlin, showcasing the integration of traditional Japanese design elements in a contemporary bathhouse. The conclusion emphasizes the influence of ancient Japanese bathhouses on the interior design and social function of modern bathhouses. Keywords: Japanese bathhouses, Sentō, community centers, spatial features, design principles, contemporary renovation, social space | en |
