As stress builds up in people in the city, one dreams of an escape to elsewhere. Following this search of tranquility, one’s return to Milan is greeted by a flood of stimuli.
Through an interplay of nesting and exposure, the thermal baths aim to create a new way of transitioning back into the city, giving one a new realm to dream of.
