A ARQUITETURA DOS BANHEIROS PÚBLICOS E AS LUTAS SOCIAIS
UMA ANÁLISE HISTÓRICA
Abstract
The text will dissect the history of groups that have been marginalized and whose presence is still questioned in the public sphere, through the connection between social struggles and the architecture of public restrooms over the years, starting from the 19th century. Four periods of resistance to the public inclusion of minorities will be analyzed, covering women, black people, and people with disabilities, leading up to the current resistance involving the LGBT community and the discussion about creating a "suitable" third restroom for this group. The goal is to highlight the importance of architecture as an agent of social transformation, through the adaptation of projects to a new typology of gender-neutral restrooms; this typology also encompasses groups of users still not socially recognized, emphasizing a democratic, accessible, and safe solution for social conflicts similar to those throughout history, adapting to contemporary debates.
