Bathhouse, a Field Guide to Heat, Water, and Ritual

Field notes

Bathhouse classifies venues by their central activity and labels them accordingly on its map, separating immersion-led hot springs from heat-and-cold bathhouses, appointment-based contrast studios, and treatment-led spas. Its explanatory material includes practical measurements, such as a 70–100 °C range for Finnish sauna heat, alongside cultural terms including löyly and venik. The homepage also points toward operator-facing material on construction budgets and space design, while current destination coverage includes Medellín and an 1895 bathhouse in Buenos Aires.
