I haven't stopped laughing. Some public men's rooms have reading material at eye level? Gee whiz! I can't imagine anyone standing long enough to read the sports scores. And doesn't all that reading also become a problem with projection and the splash factor?
There is actually a book written on the subject of bathrooms, including urinals. I beleive it's titled "The Bathroom Book". I sort of remember this from college. It was the late 60's or early 70's. Do you know what I mean, man?
I always wanted to know what happens to the floor urine that is on the soles of shoes after walking out of the public toilet room. Also, I can't imagine why a large percentage of men feel it is ok to not wash their hands afterward especially in a restaurant. Someone is going to shake a person's hand or he will eat something with his fingers.
I am an architect in Dallas, happily married with 1 child.
A majority of the projects I develop are private residences but my firm also specializes in the design of fire stations and retail environments. In 2009 I received the American Institute of Architects "Young Architect of the Year" award (but it was probably for doing things that would cause others to think twice). Life is good.

ReplyDeleteLaurie - everything contributes to the splash factor!

ReplyDeleteSome places actually have advertising instead of sports page.
Something to look at I guess. I hate a "gazer" if you know what I mean.

Eliminating splatter is easy. Specify urinals that have water in them.
