a bath-room is Joseph, Samuel Morgan
Abstract
a bathroom is is an anthology project comprising essays on accessibility, identity, and vulnerability related to the design and scalability of washrooms. The first half of my project begins with an analysis of 69+ public washrooms found throughout Vancouver—spanning from west to east, from Pacific Spirit Regional Park to the Downtown Eastside, and from north to south, from Prospect Point in Stanley Park to 22nd Avenue—and then contracts into a graphic analysis of my own private bathroom. Reflecting upon the discrete design decisions of these washrooms and the amenities they provide, the second half of my project asks the question, "what does it mean to design for and sit with discomfort?". I explore this question through a variety of lenses, from studies of the private and public material cultures of our bathrooms to invitations to act in concert to evocations to listen to ourselves and to those who form the communities around us.
