Summary:

I chose a reference video regarding the Therme Vals by Peter Zumthor because i have always admired and loved this piece of fascinating architecture and find it really amazing in its own unique way. Although my own model and sections will be entirely and far different from this building but i am trying to emphasize, within the therme vals the use of space and movement flows very smoothly throughout the entire structure and the lighting itself is able to be accommodated within even thought it is built underground and the textures and materials that has been used makes it suitable to its surrounding environment and makes it nice in contrast.

So in saying that id like to use those points and do something similar in a way for my own model.
Since for one of my staircases i chose to do an alternating and hanging tread, its something unusual and would rarely have been done. And of course when moving from room to room and from studio up and downstairs to main gathering space, you want to be able to move around without any problems arising.
