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: History and evolution of the public toilet. Places of leisure: e.g., restaurants, bars, clubs, malls, gyms, theatres, museums, stadiums. Commuting spaces: e.g., airports, railway 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, nappy-changing stations. Locations from around the world are featured, including restaurants, bars, malls, schools, museums, hotels, gyms, cinemas, boutiques, businesses, stadiums, airports, railway stations, street lavatories and park toilets.
