When the private space of a toilet is transferred to the in generally admitted pleasant public space, the public toilet is created.
Thiswork tries to present a development of considerations, theory and examples, and through field research to analyze how to implement them. Whether the relevance of social concepts, arbitrary assumptions that constitute a society, the image, the visibility and the movies are likely to affect the way of individuals’ understanding as well as the potential reality.
The surveyis based on a list [which was given by the Municipality of Athens] of the public toilets in the city. The field research records the existing facts and creates a folder for each case of study. Onthis basis is made an attempt topenetrate the way of how people understand the meaning and place of public WC. The theme of this minor architecture remains a taboo until now, making the area and the uses of the public toilet questionable. In conclusion, can anybody feel in practice this public “private” space as if it was his personal toilet?
