NaNA’s project, titled ‘Thessaloniki's Wet Dream,' is a proposal for a subterranean public bath beneath a central urban plaza with a glazed roof at street level. The 4000 square meter bathing complex responds to the city’s ambitious plans for the total redesign of Eleftherias Square (i.e. Freedom Square) into a landmark that will become a magnet for the city and beyond, their proposal sets to re-establish Thessaloniki’s long-lasting culture of public baths as a form of built social space par excellence. More images and architects’ description after the break.
