A look into our culture

Toilets and the rooms that house them provide an insight into our worlds. I'm not trying to dramatize the toilet, but just think about how we organize our homes, what we expect from public and private toilets, and how the restroom experience affects our behavior as consumers. Look how much there is to say about the toilet.

We have a wide variety of names of toilets, and the diversity of their design around the world is equally impressive. But before I wander off into academizing the toilet, I'd just like to briefly defend my choice of topic.

This blog is interested in how we organize everyday spaces, and what insight that can provide into our worlds.

Just look at how people inhabit the space of a bathroom.



We primp, we adjust, we examine and apply various means of manipulating our appearance. These acts happen almost exclusively in bathrooms and when we leave we're better prepared to face the world. In theory. I'm interested in how the spaces around us affect this experience.
