Bath House Requirements Since ancient times public baths have played a central role in the unfolding of the city’s social life which under the mantle of physical culture and relaxation presented the opportunity for the most informal encounters. I propose a new public facility on the edge of Kelvingrove Park accessible to all, bringing people from all walks of life into the heart of Glasgow’s West End. My analysis of the current bathing facilities within the city has highlighted the need for a fully public bath house in the west end of Glasgow: an area almost exclusively dominated by private, membersonly bathing houses. The historic form and ideology behind the Glasgow wash house and ‘steamie’ will inform the concept of this twenty-first century addition to one of Glasgow’s historic park landscapes. CONCEPT ///
