This bathroom project aims to create a living fabric encased in a simplistic graphic screen. By reacting to the inherent translucent qualities of the fabric, each of the bathrooms four rooms are arranged in a way to allow for subtle shadows of its users to penetrate its thin walls. In addition to this permeation of light and shadow, the bathroom comes alive through the mechanics of its plumbing system. Within each of the rooms, the toilets and sinks effectively emptied and filled themselves through transparent vessels just beyond the adjacent occupants’ walls. This heavy dark liquid (water) flows away from one room and into another transitioning from a visual perception to an auditory one.
Now considering the qualities contained within the bathroom, the surrounding environment is an amalgamation of hard soft conditions that activate transitions of the human senses from one to another within a deafening white boundary. The white boundary or bladder contains a network of pipes that feed a system of mechanical trees. These trees take the grey water from the bathroom and sterilize it through its various centrifugal filters. As the water moves through the site in a clockwise direction, pillows fill up and stress the fabric into pillow like shapes. With the help of the occupants, the pillows that activate are able to exert a small pressure on the system allowing it to move faster through the clusters of filter tress. No longer can the user, as well as the system of grey water and pipes, hide behind thick poche. Therefore, this project exaggerates and relies on its user’s behavior and reestablishes it as a living fabric.
