16 sets of creators join the big project that greatly changes the common sense of public bathrooms. 17 toilets introduce photos, drawings, data, etc. Contains many interviews and contributes and features designs by Tadao Ando, Takenosuke Sakura, Shushi Saka, Toyo Ito, Naho Tamura, Sonsuke Fujimoto, Kagato Kago, Gochini, Mark Newson, Junko Kobayama, Masatsukazu, Sato, NIGO, Miles Pennington, Makiko. If you have seen the film ‘Perfect Days’ by Wim Wenders, about a man who leads a tranquil life cleaning public toilets in Shibuya, you might recognise just how truly beautiful such places can be. In the past, public toilets may not have left a good impression due to sanitary and safety concerns. These facilities were usually lacking inclusive design qualities. Toilets should be accessible, comfortable, and anxiety-free for everyone at all times. With this in mind, the project team considered what sort of public toilet would be safe, clean, and comfortable for every user. These are the toilets featured in the film, now renovated to be gender-free and fitted with the latest sanitation equipment.

On occasion of the International Architecture Exhibition in Venice Rem Koolhaas wrote the book 'Elements of Architecture'. As a follow-up to S,M,L,XL this encyclopedic tome illustrates the research project lying behind the 14th International Architecture Biennale.The focus of the book 'Elements of Architecture' is the evolution of the elements used by architects of every age throughout the history of architecture. Doors, windows, ceilings, floors, stairs, balconies, and other basic elements of architecture - often overlooked but universally familiar - are studied, analyzed, and cataloged by means of an endless variety of visual references, from ancient times to modern developments. By looking at the evolution of architectural elements that are common to all cultures, this exploration avoids the classical Eurocentrism that often still characterizes architectural discourse. National identity has seemingly been sacrificed to modernity. Nevertheless, unique national features and mentalities continue to exist and flourish just as international collaboration and exchange intensifies.
