So you would think that I would run a mile from the new architect-designed public toilets in a park in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. It is intriguing, and in the context of public toilets, not as shocking as it seems. (A Unison freedom of information request recently found that 979 public toilets had been closed by UK councils since 2010). Toilets and public toilets are not luxuries but essential. So I see through the gimmick of those see-through toilets and note only that public toilets have been thought valuable, and constructed, and I salute them.
