Customised bathrooms are a basic requirement these days for every house, apartment and hotel room. In addition to personal hygiene, bathrooms also have an important function at the emotional level when it comes to taking time out, indulging and relaxing. The public sector can also benefit from appealing and hygienic sanitary areas. Planners are increasingly required to deal with customer desires and offer personalised solutions, in addition to knowing about the technical requirements and movement areas of sanitary facilities. Besides producing well designed floor plans, experts need to take into account sustainability and accessibility, as well as materials, light, colour, fixtures and fittings. Bathrooms and Sanitation provides comprehensive information on the basic principles of contemporary sanitary planning, as well as detailed solutions for state of the art execution and fitting. A selection of successfully completed projects offers readers inspiration for their own work. Individualisierte Bäder gehören heute zu jeder Wohnung, jedem Apartment und jedem Hotelzimmer. Bäder dienen über die Funktion der Körperhygiene hinaus der emotionalen Ebene des Verweilens, Verwöhnens, Ausspannens. Und auch im öffentlichen Bereich kann nur punkten, wer ansprechende hygienische Sanitärbereiche anzubieten hat. Mehr denn je müssen sich Planer daher nicht nur mit den technischen Anforderungen und Bewegungsflächen von Sanitärobjekten auskennen, sondern Kundenwünsche erfassen und individuelle Lösungen anbieten. Neben überzeugender Grundrissgestaltung zählen Nachhaltigkeit, Barrierefreiheit und Materialien, Licht, Farbe, Einrichtung und Ausstattung zu den wesentlichen Planungskriterien. Das Buch bietet umfangreiche Entwurfsgrundlagen sowie Detaillösungen für die fachgerechte Ausführung und Ausstattung. Gelungene Beispielprojekte liefern Inspirationen für die eigene Praxis.

This monograph studies the architectural history of ancient public toilets, called foricae. Using comparative data and historical, archaeological and literary sources, this comprehensive analysis of foricae offers a deeper understanding of their origin in the Hellenistic period. It also examines their diffusion in the ancient Roman world through advances in hydraulic technology and building techniques. Foricae became characteristic features of many Roman cities, playing an important civic and hygienic role. The study of their features reveals various plans, of which the peristyle is undoubtedly the most original. The independent and freestanding peristyle forica of Kos (Greece) is the most opulent example, and the exhaustive survey of the peristyle foricae of the Hadrianic Baths of Lepcis Magna (Libya) and of Gortyn (Crete-Greece) prove the importance of this typology in the history of functional architecture in the Roman Empire.

Les latrines romaines ont, dans notre imaginaire collectif, une place particulière. Les vestiges bien conservés des villes d’Afrique du Nord ou d’Asie Mineure laissent en effet entrevoir une époque pendant laquelle la pudeur telle qu’on la conçoit actuellement n’existait pas, où le Romain n’hésitait pas à satisfaire ses besoins naturels devant son contemporain. Les chercheurs ont focalisé leur attention principalement sur la belle architecture, les grands bâtiments pouvant accueillir parfois plusieurs dizaines de personnes. Ces constructions ne forment pourtant qu’une minorité des latrines antiques. Le développement de l’archéologie permet désormais d’appréhender les aménagements les plus modestes et les plus fréquents, dont les simples fosses, cuvelées ou non, creusées dans le sol. En prenant en compte tous les types de structures d’une région bien déterminée de l’Empire romain — les provinces gauloises, germaniques et alpines —, cet ouvrage donne un aperçu, le plus complet possible, des lieux d’aisance et de leur utilisation. C’est une image différente de celle généralement admise qui apparait alors. Les aménagements sont, la plupart du temps, simples et répondent à la stricte utilité. Les belles latrines sont rares et n’apparaissent que tardivement. Un certain nombre de dispositions permettent d’isoler ces lieux de l’extérieur ; les latrines apparaissent comme un monde clos, refermé sur lui-même. Parallèlement aux constructions, pour la première fois, ce sont les structures mobiles qui sont considérées, tant sur le plan littéraire qu’archéologique : la matella, l’urinoir masculin, le scaphium, l’urinoir féminin, le lasanum, le pot de chambre, mais également l’amphore qui, en remploi, sert a récupérer l’urine pour les activités artisanales. La gestion des latrines au quotidien, leur financement, leur entretien sont étudiés. La circulation de l’eau usée, utilisée pour évacuer les déjections dans les égouts, est décrite tout comme celle de l’eau propre, servant…

"Collective latrines, with their pierced benches lining the walls of the room, belong to the classical image of the ancient city as a paragon of urban cleanliness. For some years now, they have attracted renewed interest, in connection with the way in which our present-day societies view the problems of hygiene and health, in a word, of urban ecology. For the first time, the entirety of the latrines of a major agglomeration of the Eastern Mediterranean is taken into account. The island of Delos, in the Cyclades, was home to the prestigious sanctuary of Apollo and a major port. It was therefore a densely occupied city of the late Hellenistic period, with a cosmopolitan population, captured here through its sanitation facilities. A multidisciplinary team of more than ten researchers has been meticulously studying these key areas for almost a decade. Their architecture is precisely analysed, and through the samples taken from the bottom of the soil pipes, people's diet as well as the state of their health or the environment can be partially restored. Alongside the prestigious stone and marble monuments, the marble or metal statues, it is a completely different vision of the city that emerges--a city of filth, excrement and parasites; a city in which hygiene and health were a matter for private individuals only and not yet for the public authorities."--Page 4 of cover

This book analyses how public toilets were provided by the government and local business in Hong Kong between the 1860s and 1930s through a process that was embedded in class and racial politics. Addressing public toilet provision from a political economy perspective, it focuses on the interplay of the cross-border night soil business between Hong Kong and China's silk producing area; the silk market between China and Colonial powers; the Hong Kong land market between the colonial government and Chinese business; and how these factors jointly produced a network of toilets in the colony. As the book shows, the commercial viability of toilets created multiple logics and a new moral geography; further, exploring the topic can help us gain a better understanding of how urban governance functioned in colonies and how it intertwined with economic contingencies within a global economic system. The intended readership includes academics and members of the general public with an interest in colonialism, public infrastructures, public health, government-business relations, and urban governance.

This book addresses the topic of toilet design, but instead of focusing on the typical able bodied user, it takes the various needs and limited abilities of older and/or disabled people as its starting point (human centered design). This follows the principles of 'Inclusive Design': designs taking into account the needs of the most challenged, will also have benefits for the healthy. For the most part, this book is a spin-off of an EU-funded research and development project called the 'Friendly Rest Room for Elderly People' (FFR), which ran from 2001 to 2005. During that period a consortium of
