PUBLIC MARKS with search toilet

So we discussed this challenge of reframing things and some how that lead to a short discussion of parenting — getting kids to try things that they don’t want and disallowing them from doing things they shouldn’t. This point came up directly — “yeah, and they’ll say — can I wash the cat in the toilet?” Somehow this started the story, where we ourselves reversed our assumptions and looked at it from the positive side. How do you encourage unconventional, presumably preposterous things and not assume failed results?

“A Beach house designed by Tatiana Bilbao for the artist Gabriel Orozco’s family. The house, which has a round pool on the roof, was organized around the conceit of camping. Like a tent, you must exit each room to the exterior in order to get to another room, such as the toilet or kitchen. “For Gabriel, it was not architecture; it’s more of a living sculpture,” Bilbao says, noting that she collaborated with Orozco on realizing the artist’s initial design.” Architectural Record

Prisons are perhaps the most resource-intensive institutional infrastructures. This is largely a function of the unique nature of the building typology, which requires continuous operation, high levels of lighting (for security) and water consumption (for the inmates). Moreover, prison cells that contain toilet fixtures are required to have exhaust venting, increasing heating and cooling loads and costs. With the number of prisons on the rise in the US, new green initiatives are being explored to offset these resource hogs.

We all now what a map is, its a diagram that tries to represent the real world on a flat piece of paper.if you understand something then you can control it, if you can control it then you own it.The methods of interacting with data have changed, but those producing it haven’t. if they create any new information with reference to the OS maps, like recording the location of every public toilet, then that data is classified as “derived data”. This derived data effectively cannot be shared with anyone who isn’t also licensing data from the OS. Essentially, it means that nearly every government dataset with any kind of location information is under lock and key. OpenStreetMap. If you want truly free data, that you can edit, share and do whatever you want with then pick up a GPS unit and start mapping.
