We are in a period of human civilization where new experiences are needed for an increasingly expansive global culture. Specifically, it is in this sense that the design of CAPA offers intriguing experiences of comfort and human engagement of nature with environmental and ecological impact. This project e.g. in its application of water to create thermal spas that are in fact natural spas but also are a sustainable solution where underground water is a source of geothermal energy. For GAD's design, water is an important natural resource that needs to be seen as a symbol within the architecture.
