TRAVEL

The Vals Thermal Spa put Swiss architect Peter Zumthor on the map in 1996, and for good reason. When the town of Vals, a canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, hired Peter Zumthor to design their thermal baths, he was an undiscovered talent. He soon achieved cult status (he won the Pritzker Prize in 2009) and the thermal baths became a mecca for architects around the world.
