I went to a club once where the bathrooms had glass similar to that of Bar 89 above. Only in this bathroom, it was smoked glass, and it was behind the toilet, and it didn't go opaque, I think it was just assumed that there was more light outside the bathroom than in it. This could've been because the only light in the bathroom stall (which was really more of a room) was in the floor. In retrospect, I should've taken a picture. It was definitely weird...but then I've noticed Americans have a preconceived notion that in public places bathrooms should be separate and very private...not so in most of the world.
I've been to Bar 89! I couldn't remember the name of the place! I remember having had enough to drink that I thought, when I saw the bathroom, "oooookay, everybody is in the same boat, so I'll just be cool about it." Then I went in, locked the door ... and was relieved to discover that I wasn't going to have to deal with my bourgeois middle-class squeamishness about being observed by strangers while I was on the can, after all!
I don't think much in design or art is "wrong", but in-bowl toilet art...?
Um, no.
Woah!
For a moment there, I thought someone with a weak stomach had a few too many blueberry daiquiris...
The Kohler Art Center bathrooms are really cute, I was wondering what the mens room were like.
I love those Smith bathrooms--either Sandy or Ellen can redo my bathroom any day--
