In the area of Thermopylae, at the bottom of the mountain Kallidromo, are located the thermal springs of Thermopylae. There, in 1935, were created for the first time the baths of Thermopylae. They consist of a total of 6 existing main buildings, which were build progressively between 1958 and 1990 and include two hotels, the building of the baths and buildings with secondary functions. Today’s situation of the buildings in the area is neglected and the facilities are not suited for public use. Some of the buildings are at an abandoned state, while the rest have taken different functions than their original ones.
People visit the thermal springs of Thermopylae daily in order to bath themselves into the spring’s waters, but the existing condition of the buildings is incapable of accepting any visitor. The aim of the present thesis is to reimagine from scratch the baths at Thermopylae. By erasing the existing buildings, a new complex of baths is designed in the area, as well as a new hotel and a cafeteria. The movements in the area keep some of its existing elements, while at the same time the needs are reevaluated and new spaces and experiences are created.
