About Equality Spolno nevtralno stranišče

Enakost je spolno nevtralno javno stranišče, ki se nahaja na postaji Banqiao v Novem mestu Tajpej. Prostor površine 80 kvadratnih metrov ima strop višine 2,7 metra in je zgrajen iz keramičnih ploščic ter visoko gostotnih plastičnih predelnih sten. Zračni kanal v vsaki kabini ustvarja podtlak in odstranjuje neprijetne vonjave. Signalni indikator pri vhodu prikazuje, katere kabine so proste in kakšne vrste so, vključno s pisoarjem, zahodnjaškim, vzhodnjaškim in dostopnim straniščem. Osrednji pult z umivalniki je postavljen na višino, primerno za otroke, zeleno steno z ogledalom pa napaja sivo vodo iz umivalnika.

Production Technology: 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.

Gender equality, one of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is often discussed in social issues. 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.
