#cube163 is by our crafty friends @thebakerloos titled “Public Extractor” “Whilst the Victorians tried to get hold of the smell of urine pervading their pre-automotive cities, our generation is yet to be seen dealing effectively with a far more damaging stench. The fumes from the ever-increasing traffic on our roads, fuelled by lurking on-demand ride share services, prime delivery carrying white vans and notorious private transport. But with recent advances in CO2 handling, brought about by a team of Melbourne based scientist, we are about to master turning smog back into solid carbon without excessive amounts of heat or pressure. Instead of putting our dormant infrastructure of closed latrines onto the capital’s real estate asset portfolio as cocktail bars, barber shops or studio apartments, we propose to reanimate this lost typology into a temporary network of air-purifying infrastructure until the last combustion engine rolls off its streets, humbly serving the citizens walking over them every day.” BY THE BAKERLOOS @thebakerloos #volume64 #undergroundpublictoilet
#162 #undergroundpublictoilet 🏙 ... In Emma Colthust’s “Spend A Penny” these Victorian urinals are repurposed to an alternative ‘restroom’... a space for relaxation and contemplation. The grandeur of the arched forms are celebrated as they encompass their porcelain necessity. Some visitors pass through, while other linger as they revel in the unease of this uncertain space. Will visitors choose to subvert this reclaimed restroom, or will they spend a penny? BY EMMA COLTHURST @emcolthurst .... #volume64 #bartlett #typologies
#161 #Undergroundpublictoilet ⌛️⏳⌛️ … “What was previously an abandoned public toilet might now be restored and developed into an altruistic project. One that provides necessary services to the homeless.” … ⌛️⏳⌛️ By Enzo Lara-Hamilton @enzo_larahamilton
#160 #Underground Public Toilet 🌑🌑🌑 …”In the Escape Room, the space is appropriated by a single user who can temporarily get away from the stress of the city and the bright lights above ground.” … 🌑🌑🌑 By Luke Reveley @lr.stgm
Second brief of the season is out! This brief examines how the old and forgotten architectural conditions of underground public toilets can be revitalised to fit the modern times
#159 of #Sarangbang 🎤🎤🎤 … “The ancient Saranbang collides with the temporal nature of the K-Pop film set. Here, the woman’s image is dictated from the directors chair. Once a space positioned at ‘the front’ of the house, the room is re-imagined as a show-biz stage. Have modern day perceptions of gender changed beyond recognition?” … 🎤🎤🎤 BY Emma Colthurst @emcolthurst
