Towards a Nude Architecture: A Visual Compendium of Japanese Hot Springs

In Towards a Nude Architecture, architect Yuval Zohar offers a history of Japan's hot springs, or onsen, through an architectural lens. Across three chapters covering past, present, and future, using photos, drawings, collages, and diagrams from over a decade of life and travel in Japan, Zohar examines the spiritual and medicinal roots of bathing, the range of buildings dedicated to such activity.
