En discutant du concept, Sarah Stasiuk (PDG de The Forks) a exprim\u00e9 le d\u00e9sir de cr\u00e9er un espace capable de repr\u00e9senter artistiquement les personnes sous-repr\u00e9sent\u00e9es, conduisant \u00e0 un processus de conception collaboratif avec Synonym Art Consultation. Design Shop a travaill\u00e9 avec Synonym pour recruter des artistes locaux dont les \u0153uvres organis\u00e9es figureraient dans les toilettes. Cela comprend le fond d\u2019\u00e9cran graphique pr\u00e9sentant des \u0153uvres d\u2019art de Kiana Jade, des peintures murales en stalle d\u2019Erin Ahl, une fresque murale familiale des toilettes de Jazz Aline et des pi\u00e8ces de n\u00e9ons cr\u00e9\u00e9es avec des paroles des musiciens locaux Alpha Toshineza et Adrian Turenne.<\/p>\n<p>Avec l\u2019inclusivit\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au premier plan, ces toilettes non sexistes sont ouvertes \u00e0 tous. Des entr\u00e9es plus larges que la normale ont \u00e9t\u00e9 laiss\u00e9es ouvertes, permettant un acc\u00e8s facile et sans contact. Alors que les stands (y compris un stand accessible aux fauteuils roulants et des toilettes familiales s\u00e9par\u00e9es) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7us pour \u00eatre enti\u00e8rement ferm\u00e9s pour plus d\u2019intimit\u00e9 et de confort, chaque stand individuel pr\u00e9sente une fresque murale diff\u00e9rente pour cr\u00e9er une exp\u00e9rience unique.<\/p>\n<p>La philosophie d\u2019ouverture et de confort a \u00e9t\u00e9 encore renforc\u00e9e par une chemin\u00e9e double face, permettant un flux visuel et des lignes de visibilit\u00e9 continues de l\u2019int\u00e9rieur vers l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur et de l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur vers l\u2019int\u00e9rieur. Bien que non conventionnel, Design Shop a vu une opportunit\u00e9 de profiter des toilettes existantes, en cr\u00e9ant un moment percutant \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur et \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur des toilettes qui brouille la fronti\u00e8re entre priv\u00e9 et public sans exposer les toilettes directement aux plus grands espaces communs de Les Fourches. D\u2019autres consid\u00e9rations ont \u00e9t\u00e9 prises en compte pour pr\u00e9server l\u2019intimit\u00e9 en dirigeant les lignes de visibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 travers la chemin\u00e9e vitr\u00e9e jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9vier (plut\u00f4t que les portes du stand), offrant ainsi une connectivit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019espace au-del\u00e0 tout en cr\u00e9ant une sensation de soulagement en donnant \u00e0 l\u2019espace un sentiment moins ferm\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019inclusion d\u2019une chemin\u00e9e \u00e9tait un concept audacieux et repoussant les limites, remettant en question la typologie d\u2019un espace commun\u00e9ment consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme utilitaire. En ajoutant une couche exp\u00e9rientielle et en mettant l\u2019accent sur l\u2019\u0153uvre d\u2019art qu\u2019elle contient, les toilettes fonctionnent doublement comme une galerie, compl\u00e9t\u00e9e en outre par les couleurs et les motifs s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9s, la vanit\u00e9 sculpturale et le pendentif lin\u00e9aire cursif au-dessus.<\/p>\n<p>Un autre facteur important dans la conception \u00e9tait la direction du flux vers, autour et \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur de l\u2019espace. En dehors des toilettes, des si\u00e8ges confortables le long de la chemin\u00e9e offrent un espace doux pour attendre un ami ou prendre un moment de calme pour soi. Les dossiers rembourr\u00e9s \u00e0 carreaux rendent hommage aux racines de La Fourche avec la Compagnie de la Baie d\u2019Hudson, tandis que l\u2019\u00e9clairage ludique sert de subtil clin d\u2019\u0153il \u00e0 un autre monument embl\u00e9matique de Winnipeg\u2019 la Winnipeg Art Gallery. Un mur incurv\u00e9 le long du couloir guide la circulation vers les magasins au-del\u00e0 des toilettes, tandis que l\u2019entr\u00e9e ouverte et la signalisation au n\u00e9on cr\u00e9ent une invitation claire \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur. Dans les toilettes, un miroir sur toute la longueur adjacent \u00e0 la chemin\u00e9e a \u00e9t\u00e9 ajout\u00e9 pour r\u00e9duire la congestion au niveau de l\u2019\u00e9vier, dot\u00e9 de rebords int\u00e9gr\u00e9s pour contenir un sac \u00e0 main ou un t\u00e9l\u00e9phone pendant que vous avez fini de vous coiffer ou de v\u00e9rifier votre tenue.<\/p>\n<p>Les toilettes publiques peuvent souvent para\u00eetre st\u00e9riles, ternes et pour de nombreuses personnes inconfortables. Dans cet esprit, Design Shop a con\u00e7u les toilettes de The Forks pour repousser les limites et les limites des toilettes, cr\u00e9ant ainsi une exp\u00e9rience infus\u00e9e d\u2019art accessible et accueillante pour tous!<\/p>\n","en":"<p>The Forks (Winnipeg\u2019s central hub and primary tourism location) approached Design Shop about creating public washrooms, inspired with a vision for a space that felt artful, welcoming, and accessible.
