Crime data in the area shows that many of the drug abuse and prostitution cases occurred in public bathrooms around the city. Public bathrooms are common places for crime because it is an enclosed and easy to find place, where the users are offered temporary territoriality and privacy.
Territoriality and privacy are distinct conditions. For example, in the bus, each passenger with a seat has his territoriality but not privacy. This leads me to question the static states of territoriality and privacy in bathrooms. The diagrams study different conditions where there can be equal territoriality and equal privacy, no territoriality and no privacy, unequal territoriality and equal privacy. By introducing two doors fixed at ninety degrees, it is possible to introduce contingent territoriality and privacy. My design responds to the social awkwardness between the two users in the bathroom. The doors have round edges which look like walls. But they rotate and separate the functions in the bathroom while changing the spaces usable between the two users. The interior is kept simplest, and all the mechanical systems are hidden behind the plastic enclosure. But the outside is covered with glasses so the pipes and steel structures are visible from outside.
