Tokyo's new bathrooms designed by Japan's star architects - Among the big names involved in the Olympics also Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban and Nigo

On the occasion of the Tokyo Olympics, 16 of the best architects and designers in the country joined The Tokyo Toilet project, created together with the Nippon Foundation and dedicated to the restoration of 17 of the public baths that dot the very popular Shibuya area. Many big names have been involved in the project: Tadao Ando and Shigeru Ban are among them, but in the list of creators also appear the industrial designer and professor of the University of Tokyo Miles Pennington and above all Nigo, the founder of A BATHING APE.

All 17 bathrooms, of which at the moment only 9 are actually operational, include a variety of services designed to maximize their inclusiveness: the services vary from bathroom to bathroom, depending on the areas and constructions, but generally include rooms dedicated to babies, others instead dedicated to wheelchair access.
