卫生间是我们解决全人类普遍生理需求的地方,无论年龄、性别认同、国籍、宗教或肤色。当我们进入一个意识增强的时代,像公共浴室这样的公共空间如何发展才能有效地满足我们无限多样的需求?

The bathroom is a place where we address physical needs universal to all mankind, regardless of age, sexual identity, nationality, religion, or skin color. As we come into an age of increased awareness, how can a communal space like the public bathroom evolve in order to effectively accommodate our infinitely diverse needs?

生活在纽约,我有幸见证了LGBTQ+群体与他们的性身份一致的生活。当我为涉谷的一个小三角地设计这个公共浴室时,我设想的是一个拥抱LGBTQ+群体的社会,并为他们提供生活真实的空间。我意识到,让每个用户都能获得舒适体验的因素,归根结底是安全、隐私和紧迫性。有鉴于此,我创造了三个独立的空间,重新定义了公共浴室建立个人空间的方式。

Living in New York, I have been privileged to witness the LGBTQ+ community living in alignment with their sexual identities. As I designed this public bathroom for a small triangular lot in Shibuya, I envisioned a society that embraces the LGBTQ+ community and holds space for them to live their truth. I realized that what enables each user a comfortable experience boils down to safety, privacy and urgency. With this in mind, I created three separate spaces that redefine the way a public bathroom establishes personal space.

设计的灵感来自于日本传统的装饰性包装方法–Origata。作为送礼的象征,这个图案体现了对涉谷区的多国访客的好客精神,也承载了我创造一个包围所有使用者的安全空间的愿景。
这个设计代表了我对社会的希望,希望各行各业的人都能感受到安全,都能茁壮成长。

The design was inspired by Origata, a traditional Japanese method of decorative wrapping. A symbol of gift-giving, this motif embodies the spirit of hospitality towards Shibuya ward’s multinational visitors, and carries my vision to create a safe space that envelopes all users.
This design represents my hope for a society where people from all walks of life feel safe and are able to thrive.
