The age-old Chinese physical culture fascinates more and more people – including those outside China. In this hectic age, it responds to many people’s deep-lying needs for relaxation and balance. The fourth AquaTektur workshop continued the intercultural dialog about water and architecture with participants from Europe and Asia.

Third workshop: The heart of Arabian bathing culture provided a source of inspiration for a creative exchange between architects from Europe and the Middle East. What do regional bathroom traditions tell us? How can architecture and housing designs translate these suggestions in a contemporary manner?

Water-related architecture was the focus of the second ideas meeting, attended by nineteen architects. “Rethink the bathroom” – these specifications were subject to an idea-packed discussion with Axor by the international designers.

Nineteen designers focused on the scarce resource for the first time. The use of water in architecture and the special magic of this ancient element provided the topics for the brainstorming exercise in Cuba.
