Abstract
FLOATING SERENITY CENTER It is considered one of the projects that focus on the tourism and therapeutic aspects together, which makes it a focus of interest for many visitors who want to combine vacation, recreation, comfort and treatment as well, which made the choice of location and design idea very important, as the location was chosen on the shore of the Dead Sea near the Ein Jedi area, which is characterized by its terrain and picturesque nature as it combines the slopes of mountains, the beach and the sea, and also features tourist paths for ancient monuments including Roman baths.
The design idea of the project focused on making the visitor live a unique sensory experience and emphasizes the identity of the Dead Sea and its features, as the therapeutic functions were placed in spheres that simulate the salt structures, which are considered one of the most important features of the Dead Sea therapeutically, and then gradually moved to the upper floors (bedrooms and services) with curves that simulate the mountains in the area, which made the shape of the project simulate the mystery of floating in the Dead Sea caused by the high percentage of salts in it, which is estimated at 10 times the percentage of salt in the other seas. Also, attention was paid to making the project sustainable, through shading and materials used in construction and orientation of the building.
