I have never before photographed a urinal (though the ease of doing this with a smartphone makes the practice possible). I thought these were something special.
They are off the River Room, Millbank. I was at a presentation given by the commercial learning company Epic.
There is, despite their beauty, a design problem. The globule dropping from the bottom of the urinal means they have to be placed higher up the wall. I'm 6ft and found the reach ideal, anyone much shorter would struggle. And might not that globule get smashed off by a careless janitor pushing an industrial cleaner into the gents?
Like a little boy I found my feet raised from the ground.
Great looking, but impractical? Design over form?
They don't have to be toilets, indeed, better that they are not perhaps. But if you've come across a piece of 'urban design' that caught your attention please do share.
Amazing designs
