Public bathrooms are not neutral utility—they are relics of social control. Gender-segregated restrooms are vestigial structures of a patriarchal past, encoding binary ideologies into architecture. This project reclaims the bathroom as a biopolitical site of collective care. It proposes a modular, expandable public sanitation system that uses public land, fire hydrants, and sustainable water filtration to center equity, safety, and ecological responsibility. No longer hidden in back rooms, these bathrooms become visible civic statements—spaces of dignity, not division.
Constructed from reflective, permeable, and light-bending materials, the units promote transparency, hygiene, and visibility. Their form is as adaptive as the bodies they serve, offering not just toilets, but drinking water, showers, laundry, and shelter. This is infrastructure as sanctuary—a model for urban public space that transforms exclusion into inclusion, and waste into renewal. In doing so, it dismantles outdated codes and reimagines public bathrooms as sites of urban transformation.
