I really am curious about the budget and time frame of this Public Toilet. All the work done here requires very highly skilled folks.
"Drawing its imagery from stream-worn stones and fallen leaves, this restroom pairs a scattered spatial arrangement with an all-bamboo roof. A composite wall system—a 20 cm reinforced concrete core, a 15 cm rammed earth wall, and a lime plaster finish—forms the enclosure. Steel columns are rigidly fixed to clusters of four bamboo columns, which serve as the structural support points for the roof. Five lenticular trusses generate cantilevered semi-outdoor spaces, achieving a stable bamboo aesthetic."
