The Restroom Archive is a case study that aims to document and celebrate the public restroom, reflecting its humorous, chaotic, and sometimes frightening characteristics. Initiated as a lighthearted project in 2023, it has transformed into an extensive effort featuring 3D scans of restrooms in various locations like restaurants, gas stations, and coffee shops in the U.S. and Europe. The archival process captures a range of decor, graffiti, and artifacts, showcasing the creativity and impertinence of human actions in these spaces when they believe they are unobserved.
