How often do you think about your toilet or toilet room? I’m guessing not too often…unless there’s a problem. It’s true that not much has evolved in the last 100 years or so. But, architecturally, the devices and spaces for expelling bodily waste has a fascinating history that corresponds with a host of factors including changing technologies, understanding of the human body, and cultural customs. This video explores the history and future of the toilet and its attendant rooms. What’s next for this utilitarian object?
