These urinals are on the Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, one of Scandinavia's largest airports. The design concept is based here on a combination of art, architecture and functionality. The particular focus was on the contrast between the photographs of Swedish nature and style of the airport building with steel beams, glass and cement, the user can make in the immediate vicinity of the runway his bladder and can watch so the aircraft when parking and exiting.
The categorization of the toilet system is a non-place, since it was integrated into another non-place and shares the primary characteristics. Subtracting zurande Virilio, we shall have in this system a dual representation of media: On the one hand, the photographs and, second, the aircraft, since media are loudly Virlio vehicles and are used to transfer speeds. Especially by the embedding of the Swedish countryside in a place that is characterized primarily by the Zubettonierung and destruction of nature, again the juxtaposition of results from mutually exclusive places as a feature of heterotopia, as it is referenced by the images to something that from the outset be absent in order to ensure the operation of the airport.
