Public lavatory by Erwin Olaf
When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. And what better place to answer nature’s call than in this unique urinal.
Take a look
The photo collage on the exterior depicts the ‘battle of the sexes’: men and woman, dressed in pearls and diamonds, playfully sparing, waving around rolling pins, swords and boxing gloves. The round restroom, designed by Rem Koolhaas in 1996, is built out of milk glass, and Erwin Olaf’s photos make it a quirky location to relieve yourself. The structure has two entrances – one for men, one for women – so you can ‘go’ together. Isn’t that nice?

It’s too easy to miss this work by Joseph Semah because it can be seen only when you look at the paving bricks. The artist created eleven bronze moon shapes in the Folkingestraat paving: a lunar cycle from full moon to new moon.
