Public Toilet Design in Chuancang Village / Fuyingbin Studio

The Toilet Revolution in China vs. Traditional Cultural Taboo. The toilet is an essential facility wherever humans gather or live. However, the toilet is still overlooked till now. In the traditional culture of China, toilet-related items have always been treated as a matter of taboo. Take the traditional architectural layout, for example, toilets are always located in the corner, or even no separate toilet inside of the traditional courtyard. Also known as the Forbidden City, there are no toilets inside of such a huge Imperial Palace complex.
