dc.description.abstractBiopolitics seeks to make the bathroom always more functional and discrete. The thesis explodes and multiplies the bathroom to deny functionality and invite new relationships between subjects and space. The bathroom’s Acts– toilets, baths, and mirrors – unfold around a productive toxic landscape depicting our waste and the new ecology that it creates. The work creates a singular space demanding heterogeneous interpretations and prolonged, intentional engagement with self and the material environment – each action in direct contradiction to the paradigmatic bathroom’s goals. Ultimately, the thesis creates space in the bathroom for our solubility to be considered and explored. Problematizing the relationship between bodies, space, and material ecologies helps frame new questions about what architecture does to us and what we do to it.
