VOICED : Tokio prueba baños públicos transparentes

The video discusses Tokyo's innovative public toilets, which are clean, spacious, and transparent. These toilets become opaque when the door is closed, using a special technology that stops electricity to the glass. The Nippon Foundation initiated this project to reinvent public spaces, with designs by Shigeru Ban. The toilets aim to ensure safety by showing they are unoccupied. While locals appreciate the cleanliness, some worry about potential malfunctions. By summer 2021, 16 architects, including Tadao Ando and Kengo Kuma, will install more innovative toilets in Shibuya.
