The project reclaims the center of a traffic roundabout, typically an inaccessible and overlooked urban void, by introducing a spatial program that reactivates the site as a space for collective bathing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design utilizes a standard <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">timber<\/a><\/strong> frame construction, with the structure clad in uncut wooden panels.

Over time, many of these facilities were closed and replaced by private wellness centers, shifting bathing from a shared civic activity to a commercial service. Round About Baths revisits this typology by introducing a temporary urban bathhouse composed of cold-water basins, steam rooms, and changing areas, while occupying a central point in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By occupying a central, vehicular-dominated site, the project draws attention to underutilized spaces shaped by car infrastructure. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leopoldbanchini.com\/\">Studio<\/a><\/strong> Leopold Banchini suggests alternative uses for urban land, particularly those spaces that are physically prominent yet functionally marginal. Once the temporary installation is dismantled, the existing fountain and roundabout return to their previous state, though the intervention leaves a conceptual trace, proposing a new lens for interpreting public space.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Round About Baths reclaims a traffic roundabout as a public space<\/p>\n<p>the installation transforms an overlooked urban void into a communal space<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the project introduces bathing facilities into a car-dominated environment<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>timber frame construction supports the circular bathing structure<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>high perimeter walls ensure privacy within the roundabout context<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>cold-water basins are integrated into the temporary installation<\/p>\n<p>the project invites reflection on future possibilities for public space<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Round About Baths<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.leopoldbanchini.com\/\">Leopold Banchini Architects<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/leopoldbanchini\/\">@leopoldbanchini<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Logro\u00f1o, Spain<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/gregoricivera.com\/\">Gregori Civera<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gregori_civera\/\">@gregori_civera<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/leopold-banchini-temporary-timber-bathhouse-traffic-roundabout-spain-07-17-2025\/\">leopold banchini\u2019s temporary timber bathhouse reclaims traffic roundabout in spain<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temporary public bath structure by Leopold Banchini Architects \u00a0 Installed for the Conc\u00e9ntrico Festival in Logro\u00f1o, Spain, Round About Baths is a temporary public structure designed by Leopold Banchini Architects.
