My critique of a toilet designed by a
classmate.
For this plate, the class was
instructed to design their ideal toilet consisting of personal desired
activities to do inside it. The students were each given 2.5 x 2.5 meters of
space.
Andre Gutierrez is the architect
behind this impressive toilet concept. The curved walls, the sand pits, the
sauna, are all part of this luxurious design. Gutierrez first listed the things
he wanted to do in his ideal toilet. The list consisted of the essential basic
needs, such as a toilet bowl, a sink, and a shower. He further expanded this
list by establishing what other things could be done in a toilet. The additions
he made went from a sauna, to a coffee machine. The strategic placement of
these additional functions are done excellently to take full advantage of the
provided space. For example, the steam room is put together with the showers.
Not only does this save space, but it saves us from having to walk over from
one to the other and therefore increases accessibility. Overall, this toilet is
equipped with a music player, a coffee area, a computer, a waterfall urinal, a
steam room, and a couch (on the toilet seat cover), what more could one ask
for?
In addition to the functions of the
toilet, Gutierrez used his design ability to create it aesthetically pleasing
to the eye. As shown above, the toilet has an unusual flow along with the
unorthodox shapes create an interesting look, and differentiates itself from
other toilet designs. Moreover, the ingenious concept of placing sand pits
around the toilet gives a natural, beach-like vibe to the toilet, which is a
beautiful additional detail to the space.
To conclude, this may be a near
perfect toilet considering the amount of space given. I believe that toilets
serve an important function in a house, therefore having an impressive toilet
is crucial. For this, I take my hat off for Gutierrez for this spectacular
concept.
