TIMELINE:
Registration Deadline: 8th January 2026
Submission Deadline: 18th January 2026
Winners Announcement: 18th April 2026
BRIEF:
Urban spaces represent the heartbeat of modern society, continually evolving to cater to the diverse and dynamic needs of their inhabitants. As cities grow and develop, one of the most critical yet often overlooked necessities is the provision of accessible and hygienic public restrooms. These facilities are essential for ensuring public health, enhancing the overall urban experience, and supporting the mobility of all community members.
This competition invites architects, designers, and urban planners to reimagine public toilet facilities as vital components of the urban infrastructure. The challenge is to develop innovative designs that not only fulfill the functional requirements of cleanliness and accessibility but also contribute positively to the aesthetic and social landscape of the city.
Participants are encouraged to explore creative solutions that seamlessly integrate these facilities into various urban contexts—whether in bustling city centers, tranquil parks, or transit hubs—while addressing crucial factors such as hygiene, sustainability, and inclusivity. By fostering a holistic approach, this competition aims to challenge traditional notions of public restrooms, encouraging designs that promote user comfort, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.
Through this endeavor, we hope to inspire transformative ideas that enhance the quality of urban life, making public restrooms not just functional spaces, but landmarks of civic pride and innovation.
