Preliminary sketch
This is a side project. My first priority is helping to get the other toilets functional. I might leave away the toilet aspect, "Holistic individual consciousness" might become primary focus...
Concept - Sustainability, if possible all natural, local (from/ close to site) materials. Shape of a curled up, relaxing dragon
- Circular/ Spiral 400 degree dirt dam, height 40-80cm, diameter inside approx 2.5m
- Top of dam: bamboo/wood + blankets as privacy walls, total height dam + wall approx 120-140cm
- Circular court allows for approx 4 sewerage holes
- Shelter wind/ rainproof, ev only if raining: bamboo/wood pyramid/ tippy over court, tarp/ plastic/ leaves(?) as roof
- Stone-paved court/ dirtwall or straw/ shrub/ plant material/ covering ground - "rain-erosion-proof"
- eg leaves instead of paper ? (most probably not...)
- 3 bamboo-rebar-blanket flags around toilet
- Torches/ windlights on/ around dam at night ?
- Stone/ woodart: stones on each other/ on branches in equilibrium- type Zürisee, stonepiles....etc
- If possible die blankets green with clorophyl based color, eg. done on site with participants
- Windtubes, natures gifts hanging from pyramid/ poles (plants, stones, bones, animals ?)
- Dirt-mortar skulpturing...(2 natural "buckets", toiletpaper mini closet stone/ dirtmortar...)
- eg locate toilet a little bit offsite - make it kind of a getaway, solitude, meditation place ? (probably not...but sure on outskirts)
Dragon
- The dirt dam is the back/ body of the dragon
- He could get a head (glowing eyes/ candles in glasses...)/ tail (curled back, eg functional as toliet paper holder, dirt holder (bucket like circling/snailing around these items))
- Dragonlike back-spikes/ triangles in a double row on his back provide privacy (bamboo&blanket...)
- eg big wings (bamboo & blanket...) serving as shade/ rain - structure
- Fire spitting? (most probably not...)
To do/check
- Scetch/draw/CAD design
- Design dragon (head (oil-lamp eyes ?), functional tail, materials (dirtmortar-skulpting/ stone/ wood ?))
- Check availability material (Switzerland, Spain, on Site) - usable plants/ branches/ forest closeby ?
- Check green color production (ev. also stone color...red tones)
- Have Fallback/ Worstcase Scenario/ Material
- Check: instead of bought sit-box: DIY
- Check: no tools - do needed tools onsite (spade...stone, branch, fibre ???)...probably not
- Check: availability water (river, pond ?) - for dirt-mortar
- Schedule/ time estimate
- Volunteers
