Public Toilet Design presents a selection of 130 very
diverse public toilet designs -- 50 of them installed over the last two
years -- in which toilets enjoy special status as a vehicle for various
artistic and cultural expressions, corporate values and the needs of
different social groups.
The book covers as:
- History and evolution of the public toilet
- Places of leisure: e.g., restaurants, bars, clubs, malls, gyms, theaters, museums, stadiums
- Commuting spaces: e.g., airports, train stations, boats, rest areas
- Public residences: e.g., hotels, spas, geriatric residences
- Working Environments: e.g., banks, offices, public administrations
- Materials and accessories used
- Ergonomics: adaptations for users, including the elderly, handicapped, diaper-changing stations.
Locations from around the world are featured, including restaurants,
bars, malls, schools, museums, hotels, gyms, cinemas, boutiques,
businesses, stadiums, airports, train stations, street lavatories, and
park restrooms.
Among the 50 new designs -- and don't miss the transparent "Don't Miss a Sec" sidewalk toilet -- are the following:
- Central Library Rotterdam, The Netherlands
- SIDE Hotel, Hamburg, Germany
- Rain Restaurant, Toronto, Canada
- Roman Tabernae at the Trajan's Forum, Rome

More than 600 full-color photographs illustrate the designs in detail
and each project is accompanied by descriptive text in five languages.
Plans and detailed descriptions show the transformation of the public
toilet during its planning, development and construction stages.
Designers, architects, students and the purely inquisitive will find Public Toilet Design fascinating and informative.
