It's not everyday one gets excited and inspired by the design of a pair of dunnys but there are exceptions to every rule, with the cutting edge designs by Toon Architects [link] been a case in point. Looking more like the upper decks of a Imperial Star Destroyer [link] that has had a run-in with a X-wing, than your more typical backyard cubicle, the two toilets blocks were completed in 2010. If only the doors opened vertically instead of sideways.
The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright upon entering a Las Vegas style casino for the first time, remarked on the architecture with those same words. Maybe it's more myth, than any amount of truth. I hope my photographs give you that same feeling of disorientation and bemusement. The plan is to abstract the crap out of architecture I like and throw in non-academic, pop culture infused musings whilst I'm at it.
