Although they are not the most preferred places to be, public washrooms are increasingly becoming recognized as an important component in architecture. Varying in history, materials, form, physical contexts, and details, they often hint at the community in which they are found. The economic, environmental, and political aspects which affect a community’s architecture trickles down and is reflected in their washrooms as well. As such, there has been, and will continue to be, a major gap concerning the standard of public washrooms.
