Vector Architects designed the Wulingshan Eye Stone Spring spa in Aranya, China, incorporating a stack of eight chimney-style lightwells.

Commenters shared mixed opinions on the structure, with one describing it as “stunningly powerful,” while another referred to it as a “sublime and bonkers resolution of the brief”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included a
High Court ruling requiring Zaha Hadid Architects to keep paying to use the founder’s name, a Corten steel extension in South London and a red brick cinema in Hainan by One Plus Partnership.
