James
Westcott, from OMA in Rotterdam, is researching material for his book called
“Elements of Architecture,” for which he is researching the history and the current
status of elements like the floor, the door, the wall, the ceiling, the roof,
and of course the toilet. The book is part of the Venice Architecture Biennale
this June, directed by Rem Koolhaas.
James is focusing on Dharavi as a
demonstration of how the western model of flush toilet + sewage system isn’t
achievable or sustainable in most parts of the world. He has
asked SPARC for assistance and for the map that SPARC is making
of the toilets built by SPARC.
