Today’s debates about transgender inclusion and public restrooms may seem unmistakably contemporary, but they have a surprisingly long and storied history in the United States—one that concerns more than mere “potty politics.” Alexander K. Davis takes readers behind the scenes of two hundred years’ worth of conflicts over the existence, separation, and equity of gendered public restrooms, documenting at each step how bathrooms have been entangled with bigger cultural matters: the importance of the public good, the reach of institutional inclusion, the nature of gender difference, and, above all, the myriad privileges of social status. Chronicling the debut of nineteenth-century “comfort stations,” twentieth-century mandates requiring equal-but-separate men’s and women’s rooms, and twenty-first-century uproar over laws like North Carolina’s “bathroom bill,” Davis reveals how public restrooms are far from marginal or unimportant social spaces. Instead, they are—and always have been—consequential sites in which ideology, institutions, and inequality collide.

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.

The inspections we put up with at airport gates and the endless warnings we get at train stations, on buses, and all the rest are the way we encounter the vast apparatus of U.S. security. Like the wars fought in its name, these measures are supposed to make us safer in a post-9/11 world. But do they? Against Security explains how these regimes of command-and-control not only annoy and intimidate but are counterproductive. Sociologist Harvey Molotch takes us through the sites, the gizmos, and the politics to urge greater trust in basic citizen capacities-along with smarter design of public spaces. In a new preface, he discusses abatement of panic and what the NSA leaks reveal about the real holes in our security.
