Whether for a few minutes, a weekend or a long vacation - spaces of recreation, in the present time, are available in a variety of forms and activities. Pursuing methodological concepts, these typologies are unlike those of regular working and living. Rather than being focused on productivity and efficiency, they allow one to unwind, contemplate, unravel and experience.

This volume is intended to display a selection of projects, that have helped create harmony between architecture and the human body, initiating and inciting a sense of recovery with their structural and material impact. Designs in this field have drawn abstracts from traditional constructions as well as modern spatial structures. Architecture creates the framework for relaxation and activation that shape spaces to provide strength while enabling the mind to escape and reinvigorate.
