About Equality Función Principal: Baño Neutro en Xénero
Texto do Libro: Equality é un baño público neutro en xénero situado na Estación de Banqiao, na Cidade de Nova Taipei. O espazo de 80 metros cadrados ten unha altura de teito de 2,7 metros e está construído con azulexos cerámicos e paredes divisorias de plástico de alta densidade. Un conduto de aire en cada cubículo crea presión negativa e elimina os cheiros. Un indicador de sinal na entrada mostra que cubículos están libres e o seu tipo, incluíndo mictorio, occidental, oriental e accesible. Un mostrador central de lavabos está colocado a unha altura axeitada para nenos, e un muro verde espello aliméntase con augas grises procedentes do lavabo.

- The interior space is constructed ceramic tiles and high dense plastic partition walls. Air duck is installed in each toilet stall to suck the smell for creating the space negative pressure.
- Design Challenge
- To achieve a gender-neutral toilet design, we investigated color choices for the space, circulation, signage, and lighting. These elements influence the mentality of users and contribute significantly to providing a welcoming atmosphere. The green wall at the mirror utilizes the gray water generated from the sink to innovate water usage and even more sustainable applications.

New Taipei City, the largest population city in Taiwan, has spent a significant amount of effort addressing SDGs in the city development. Therefore, this gender-neutral public toilet project is the milestone of New Taipei City's achievement.
- Inspiration
