Sammanfattning
Nowadays, the preservation and reuse of traditional
cultural heritage has become an important issue. Some
abandoned underground reservoirs, including Piscina
Mirabilis, have become ruins in the city, and it is worthwhile
to think about how to reuse this ancient and huge
reservoir. Meanwhile, with the continuous development
of the society, increasing pressure, depression and anxiety
becoming common, people’s demand for leisure and
health is gradually increasing.
An abandoned underground reservoir is chosen as the
object of study, and the study is aimed to rethink the
potential use of this abandoned space through sensory
healing design, to transform it into a spa space with
unique sensory experience, to reactivate the function of
the Spa as a community center, and to emphasize the importance
of its health and social aspects.
The theoretical framework of the study is based on the
concept of sensory healing, which emphasizes the stimulation
of the five senses to reduce anxiety and promote
physical and mental health. The design provides different
experiences of water through space shaping that focuses
on the human scale. Elements such as the reflection of
sunlight, the flow of steam, the change in water temperature,
and the sound of water droplets are introduced into
the design to create a spa space that provides relaxation
and healing. At the same time, the design starts from the
perspective of ruins regeneration, thinking about how
old spaces, materials and structures can adapt to new
functions. Through the analysis of different spaces and
functions, the original materials and structures are used,
while matching new materials and structures are added.
The structure forms a strong contrast between the old
and the new, adds a sense of story to the space, and reactivates
the space.
