Hammam (Persian Bath)

A bath in 4x5x4 dimensions, with 5 different functional spaces: the central space (bath) with 6 columns and persian arcs and a modern dome, Bar, relax room with a plasma TV, and services. The progect has based on a research of the ancient and modern persian baths. I believe that we have lost our architecting since last years of Qajari dinasty. We are just immitating the wetern modernism period in architecting and interior design. I absolutely against using the ethnic furniture to creat an ethnic interior. As you seen, in this virtual project, I have use even "Ionic greek capitals", but the space is persian. The persian caliagraphy is not a forniture, its form help me to emphacide on the curves of the arcs. Today persian architects or designers should know the persian architecture as well as modern western architecting, and try to use only modern technology and scince of structures, not froms and concepts.
