Mountain building: Wellness centre





Well, I’m not a fanatic, but is a labor of Botta, one of my favorites architects, but in any case I choose this structure because is his work, it will be ridiculous, I choose it `cause to me, is one of the best ways how architecture play with nature.
Placed in Arosa , Switzerland, this mountain valley offer many possibilities to the expression and disposition of the space, with a lot of nature and amazing views.
In a respect visual attitude, the element of the snow forest is used as a way of expression of that connection in a beautiful composition, with the windows as trees that camouflage in the mountain where is placed the thermal hotel. A defect i think that could be named, is the disposition of the inner space that is underground just as a function way, but is supposed that the great volume is interred and no visible from the nearest in respect for the villages that are surround, but is a shame `cause all that space used in the artistic form would made even better the totality and made stronger the connection between nature and the artificial elements.
