The metabolism of the Victorian Turkish bath

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article concentrates on the spatial reflection of modern norms of health and cleanliness, and leisure and pleasure in the Victorian Turkish baths. Following a case study research, it aims to uncover how these dualities have affected the changing metabolism of the Victorian cities since the late 19th century. It argues that the contemporary stage of this metabolic process exemplifies a consumerism which can be observed in health and spa centers as an architectural stereotype.
