undesigning the bath is a book by Leonard Koren, my guru on such things as wabi-sabi (another book of his). photos of outdoor baths, hammams, mud baths, hot springs and a japanese bath in a cable car, illustrate his theory that designers don’t make great baths.<\/p>\n

the idea of a bath under the stars on a hot summer night, which I have seen in Portugal, is very romantic, but perhaps I would prefer my non-chlorine pool\u00a0 (not built yet) in Spain. I would love to have an outdoor shower, although my surroundings are not as lush as this<\/p>\n
