Trenton Bath House
This is a building listed in the National Register of Historic Places that architect, Louis Kahn, designed that is located in Ewing Township, New Jersey. It actually never has served as a bath house, but rather just a place for people to change clothes for a nearby pool. Some of the same themes of Kahn's architecture can be seen in the use of gray concrete blocks, symmetry, and simple shapes. Although, on this structure he did not use as many obvious different geometric shapes, but instead it seems as he opted for a more clean and simple look. I like how it is an open kind of breeze way with no doors and is very welcoming to people. I also really like how the roofs are not completely attached to the whole room, instead they just have large square supports on the corners with an opening between the wall and the bottom of the roof.
