Thisdesign proposal is based on a linear toilet system: where toilets are arranged in a linear manner according to gender, privacy, location of the washing basin, water treatment plants and etc. The design is based on 3 concepts - Dry VS Wet Programs within the toilet, Wet VS Dry areas within the school area and Adjacent Village VS Primary School . The play of gender, dry and wet, agglomeration and seperation have made this toilet arrangements very unique in terms of spatial qualities.

Proposed Water

Grey Water Treatment

Grey water from the right wing, wash basins & 1F reach the septic tank in the left wing.

Physical and Chemical filtration will be performed to remove solids, detergents, pathogens, toxins and etc. Grey water will then join urine drained from another pipe and travel via the closed drains and reach the retaining wall, in which grey water will eventually be secondary filtered by vegetation

G/F demonstrates active seperation and division among villagers and students. Villagers can only circulation around the periphery overseeing the village while students can only use the side near the school

1/F is a place where two parties meet and interact. To ensure security, openess is ensured by having much less walls and a much open space. Only the showers are enclosed and it’s placed on 1/F to facilitate water treatment.

Grey water from 1F & wash basins is combined with urine to reach septic tank

Division of Programs, Users & Spaces

The building is designed such a way that the following contradicitons are addressed: Wet & Dry programs; Villagers & Students; Excreting & Gathering. By seperating users, it is aimed at serving different needs of different groups By seperating dry & wet programs, it is aimed at making the building technically sound and ct cost

Used by

The building is divded into the left wing, right wing and the central core. Different levels serve different users and provide different experience through the use of partitions, walls and stairs.

Spatial Organization

The proposed water the sewage and urine thus perform primary ing’s septic tank. Sewage through newly constructed the nearby farmlands Different 1 COURTESY TO WORLD MARKETING DEVELOPMENT CENTRE LTD FOR DEHTLET ECO-SYSTEM USED IN THIS PROJECT
