TEMPORAL REMOVABLE AND SUSTAINABLE DISAPPEARED ARCHITECTURES. THE SEA BATHS OF THE SPANISH LEVANTE.
Abstract
The latter third of the 19th Century was the golden age of balneotherapy on the Iberian Peninsula. Sea or wave baths along the Spanish coastline, which have now disappeared and are unknown in the current architectural panorama, are captured on a plethora of postcards and advertising posters that used photography, which was fully developed throughout Spain, as a means of promoting the culture of bathing. Through photography we are now able to see what these absent structures looked like, and to understand the esthetic values of the day, the types of baths that existed, the materiality of the architecture and its structures, and even their temporality.
