...Not so scratchy, toilet brush! As geographers, we are concerned with how spaces are socially constructed and what power relations are inscribed in them. Public spaces are still planned in an androcentric way, that is, oriented towards cis male, white, and healthy bodies. The availability, accessibility, design, and management of toilets are closely tied to patriarchal relations of domination. A feminist-geographical view of the issue can make this visible and also give voice to non-normative sexualities and genders...

Open for Maintenance - Wegen Umbau geöffnet

18. Architecture Biennale 2023 in Venice 
20.5.-26.11.2023


for the curation team: ARCH+ / SUMMACUMFEMMER /BÜRO JULIANE GREB

AG Sanitärwende 
with Eawag (Michel Riechmann), Finizio–Future Sanitation (Florian Augustin, Tom Kühne), German Toilet Organization, KanTe – Kollektiv für angepasste Technik (Ariane Krause, Johanna Moser, Eleftheria Xenikaki) and Sina Kamala, klo:lektiv (Sabine Bongers-Römer, Katharina Ciax, Martine Kayser), Leibniz-Institut für Gemüse- und Zierpflanzenbau (Stefan Karlowsky), NetSan, P2GreeN, urin*all (Leonie Roth, Luisa Tschumi), VaLoo


Discussions on the importance of care and repair infrastructures also include the thematization of sanitary infrastructures in our built environment. The Sanitärwende working group was therefore involved in the design of the German Pavilion - not only to emphasize the importance of ecological, sustainable and inclusive sanitary facilities, but also to implement them in practice.

Peeing* is political! Sanitary facilities are an essential infrastructural part of everyday life. They provide the opportunity to fulfill the basic sanitary needs of urinating and defecating, have an influence on the kind, quality, and radius of activities people can undertake, and constitute a precondition for participating in both private and public life. However, they are often taken for granted and their importance is only registered when they are unusable, unavailable or inaccessible. When planning and managing buildings and public spaces, sanitary facilities are rarely considered as core infrastructure to be designed for and by society.

Bathroom readings is a digital collection of texts on the interesting topic of inclusive and resource-saving sanitation and the sustainable circular economy. Moreover, it is a digital offer to delve deeper into the topic of the sanitation and nutrient transition.

Scientists, activists, designers, artists and many other stakeholders closely worked together to create the sanitary space in the German Pavilion. In addition to the installations in the pavilion itself and an article in ARCH+, we now present a digital best of innovative ideas, solutions and visionary concepts for the sanitation and nutrient transition.
