This work serves both as a practical guide for architects and a resource for the general public, aiming to dispel misconceptions about the design and health implications of these baths. The book delves into the historical context of bathing practices, examining how modern interpretations of the Turkish bath can be improved for better hygiene and comfort. At the start of this publication, the author introduces the concept of the Turkish bath, tracing its origins and evolution over time. He highlights the common misconceptions surrounding its dangers and emphasizes the importance of proper design and ventilation in constructing effective and hygienic baths. Allsop discusses the various rooms and their intended purposes within the bath—such as the sudorific chambers, washing areas, and cooling rooms—while also underscoring the significance of radiant heat and ventilation methods. He sets the stage for a detailed analysis of both public and private bath designs, with an eye toward fostering a greater appreciation and understanding of this bathing tradition.
