Briefly

Architecture of Water: Disappearing Fixtures in Contemporary Wellness
"Instead of adding mounted elements to a bathroom's design, some approaches work through subtraction. The bathroom is no longer composed of visible objects, but understood as a continuous surface."
"Walls and ceilings are no longer supports for mounted elements; they become surfaces to be opened, precisely calibrated to reveal what they contain, acting as a permeable membrane between the exterior surface and the interior fixture."
"The result is not an object, but an intervention that reshapes the perception of space. The experience itself becomes the protagonist, no longer mediated by visible objects, but shaped directly through water, light, and space."
Modern bathroom design focuses on minimalism by reducing the visibility of fixtures, allowing them to recede into walls and ceilings. This approach prioritizes water, light, and atmosphere, transforming the bathroom into a continuous surface. The design philosophy echoes the work of Lucio Fontana, where walls and ceilings serve as permeable membranes, reshaping spatial perception. The experience becomes central, with fixtures disappearing and their effects taking precedence, creating a new dimension in architectural design.
