Appreciation towards UPA for providing the following description:

梁子湖为湖北第二大淡水湖，此处常年烟雾缭绕水天含混，颇有“气蒸云梦泽”之意。为重振梁子湖生态旅游景区的重点旅游地位，由湖北省鄂旅投集团出资牵头，欲将梁子湖风景区提升至5A景区。将全面升级景区的配套设施，AAA景观公厕便是其中首批重点升级项目，也是景区码头的形象门面之一。

Liangzi Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in Hubei, where the perennial smoke is mixed with water and sky. In order to revive the key tourism status of Liangzi Lake eco-tourism scenic spot, it is funded by Hubei Tourism Investment Group to upgrade Liangzi Lake scenic spot to 5A scenic spot. The supporting facilities of the scenic spot will be comprehensively upgraded, and the AAA landscape public toilet is one of the first key upgrading projects, and it is also one of the image facades of the scenic spot wharf.

该项目位于梁子湖东岸，长岭渡口内的一处樟树林中。周边有小镇，一到半晚镇上居民熙熙攘攘，这里是他们休憩闲聊的好去处。

The project is located in a camphor forest in Changling wharf on the east bank of Liangzi Lake. There is a small town nearby, the town will become very lively in the evening, the camphor forest is a good place for them to relax and chat.

最初设想将建筑全部置入林中，掩盖卫生间作为如厕的独特属性。但在后续的探讨之中，我们认为卫生间不应该是让人厌恶的场所，它可以是一种媒介，让人精神放松，身心愉悦。于是我们将卫生间部分暴露出来，置于林间一侧，增强其辨识性，使其成为连接树林与花园的一个过道。

The original idea was to put all the buildings in the forest, masking the unique nature of the toilet. But in the follow-up discussion, we think that the toilet should not be a disgusting place, it can be a medium to relax from both physically and mentally. So we exposed part of the toilet and placed it on one side of the forest to enhance its identification and make it an aisle connecting the forest and the garden.

建筑整体呈环状，内部交通可达性强，中间布置一景观庭院，供人观赏停留。但是大部分人喜欢仰望天际。由于湖边多风，环形的交通流线与高窗配合，使内部空间极其通风且阴凉，有朋友调侃如厕后轻轻松松掉五斤。

The building is ring-shaped as a whole, with strong accessibility of internal traffic, and a landscape courtyard is placed in the middle for people to stop and watch. But most people like to look up at the sky. Due to the windy edge of the lake, the circular traffic flow lines cooperate with high windows, making the internal space extremely ventilated and shady, and some people ridiculed that they lost five pounds easily after going to the toilet.

为满足快速建造的条件，建筑采用钢结构装配。为营造出轻盈感，地面整体抬升，外墙用木格栅装饰，使窗户从立面上“消失”，整体上也与环境较好融合。环形的高窗，即使在室内不开灯的情况下光照依旧充足。

In order to meet the conditions of rapid construction, the building is assembled with steel structure. In order to create a sense of lightness, the ground is raised as a whole, and the outer wall is decorated with a wooden grille to make the windows “disappear” from the facade and integrate well with the environment as a whole. The circular high window makes interior bright even when the lights are not turned on.

清晨，建筑沐浴在林中，光以斑点的形态呈现，仿佛湖上水气，梁子湖的景色也若隐若现。

Early in the morning, the building is standing in the forest, the light is presented in the form of spots, like the moisture on the lake, the scenery of Liangzi Lake is also looming.

出乎意料的惊喜在于，人们乐于前往，穿梭，游玩与停留。自然而然的忘掉这可能是一个“有味道”、“肮脏”的地方，它正在潜移默化的改变着附近居民与游客对公厕的这一刻板印象。

The unexpected surprise is that people are happy to go, shuttle, hang out and stay. Naturally they forget that this may be a “smelly” and “dirty” place, which is imperceptibly changing the stereotype of nearby residents and tourists about public toilets.

在建筑新类型的探索中，我们以最常规的设计手段探讨建筑与人与环境的关系，回归朴素的建筑学，同时希望以简单的方式改变人们对传统领域的认知。

In the exploration of new architectural types, we explore the relationship between architecture and people and environment by the most conventional design means, return to simple architecture, and hope to change people’s cognition of traditional fields in a simple way.
