Specific examples of transparent toilets

Since the beginning of the 20th century, transparent toilets have appeared in many parts of the world. Most of these toilets have transparent glass curtain walls, and the toilets are located in public places such as hotels, parks and scenic spots. While enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window, the guests who use the bathroom have become "different scenery" in the eyes of passers-by. On September 7th, 2065438+00, a blogger posted on Weibo that the toilet in Du Ming, Liwan District had been transformed into a transparent public toilet, and attached a site map, in which the toilet compartments were all pieces of transparent glass. Weibo caused a heated discussion among bloggers, and was widely forwarded in Weibo in the following days.

According to the staff of the shopping mall management office, the partition material used in front of the toilet is wooden board, which is often wet by water and seriously damaged. Many people scribble on it, which affects the appearance. So the mall decided to redecorate, replace the wooden board with glass, and then stick frosted paper, which is waterproof and fashionable. On February 20 10/5, the five-star toilet on the entrance platform of Ludi scenic spot in Guilin was officially opened to tourists, in which the west and north of the men's toilet were made of transparent floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and the urinals were next to the glass walls.

Women's toilets do not use transparent floor-to-ceiling glass walls, but are equipped with maternal and child rooms, toilets for the elderly and toilets for the disabled. And there is a viewing platform, which can be used for viewing and can also be a waiting area to alleviate the boredom of tourists waiting. The toilet on the 0/8th floor of Manhattan Standard Hotel/KLOC-in new york, USA, has a 3-meter-high glass floor-to-ceiling window. Guests can see the beautiful outdoor scenery when they go to the toilet here, but their every move is also unobstructed by pedestrians on the street.

The owner of this controversial building has always refused to improve the toilets, and when the hotel was completed in 2008, it won the "Best New Building Award" issued by new york Art Association, which may be the reason why the hotel refused to replace it.
