Pritzker Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has designed two public toilets for the Tokyo Toilet project with transparent glass walls that become opaque when they are occupied.

Built in the city’s Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park and the Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park, the pair of restrooms feature tinted-glass walls to enable those approaching to easily check whether they are in use or not.

普利茲克獎得主建築師坂茂(Shigeru Ban)為東京廁所項目設計了兩個公共廁所,它們的透明玻璃牆在被佔用時變得不透明。

這對洗手間建於該市的代代木深町迷你公園和春之鄉小川社區公園內,玻璃牆是有色玻璃,可以使進近的人輕鬆檢查它們是否在使用中。

This see-through quality was also selected to reassure users that the facilities are clean without them having to enter the toilet block first to check.

For privacy, the glass walls become opaque once the occupant has entered and locked the door.

還選擇了這種透明的質量,以確保用戶清潔設施,而不必先進入廁所。

為了保護隱私,一旦乘員進入並鎖上了門,玻璃牆就會變得不透明。

“There are two things we worry about when entering a public restroom, especially those located at a park,” Ban explained on the project’s website.

“The first is cleanliness, and the second is whether anyone is inside,” the architect continued. “Using the latest technology, the exterior glass turns opaque when locked.”

“This allows users to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside. At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern.”

潘基文在該項目的網站上解釋說:“進入公共廁所時,我們擔心兩件事,尤其是位於公園的廁所。”

建築師繼續說:“第一個是清潔,第二個是是否有人在裡面。” “使用最新技術,外玻璃在鎖定時會變得不透明。”

“這使用戶可以檢查清潔度以及是否有人從外面使用廁所。到了晚上,該設施就像漂亮的燈籠一樣照亮了公園。”

The new buildings replace two dated public toilets in a pair of small parks near the large Yoyogi Park in Shibuya.

Each facility comprises three separate cubicles – a male, female and accessible toilet – which are divided by mirrored walls.

新建築取代了澀谷大型代代木公園附近的一對小公園中的兩座陳舊的公共廁所。

每個設施包括三個獨立的隔間-一個公廁,一個母廁和方便洗手間-用鏡像牆隔開。

Both structures were built according to the same design, with the exception of the colour of the glass walls.

At the Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park, the glass is tinted with hues of green and blue to complement the surrounding trees, while the toilets at Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park took cues from the nearby playground equipment, featuring shades of orange, pink and purple.

除玻璃牆的顏色外,兩種結構均按照相同的設計建造。

在Haru-no-Ogawa社區公園,玻璃杯上染有綠色和藍色,以補充周圍的樹木,而Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park的廁所則從附近的遊樂場設備中獲得線索,其色調為橙色,粉紅色和紫色 。

Ban designed the colourful amenities as part of the Tokyo Toilet project, run by the non-profit Nippon Foundation, which is enlisting the help of 16 creatives from around the world to redesign public toilets in 17 locations across the downtown district of Shibuya.

Other participating designers and architects include Kengo Kuma, Marc Newson and Sou Fujimoto, as well as fellow Pritzker Prize-winners Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando and Fumihiko Maki.

潘(Ban)設計了豐富多彩的便利設施,作為由非營利性日本基金會(Nippon Foundation)運營的東京廁所項目的一部分,該基金會正在吸引來自世界各地的16名創意者的幫助,重新設計澀谷市區整個地區17個地點的公共廁所。

其他與會的設計師和建築師包括Kengo Kuma,Marc Newson和Sou Fujimoto,以及普利茲克獎得主伊藤東洋,安藤忠雄和Fumihiko Maki。

Japanese designer Nao Tamura was also one of these 16 creatives, and chose to create a bright red toilet block based on the Japanese craft of Origata gift wrapping as her contribution to the scheme.

The toilet block’s triangular structure features angular openings made from steel plates, designed to resemble folds of paper.

日本設計師田村直男也是這16位創意者之一,她選擇了以日本Origata禮品包裝工藝為基礎,創造出鮮紅色的廁所塊,以此作為對這一計劃的貢獻。

馬桶座的三角形結構具有由鋼板製成的角形開口,其設計類似於紙張的褶皺。
