Semi-transparent Toilet on the Market Square!

Architecture
In Basel artists contstructed a Toilet cabin that is completely built out of one-way-transparent mirrors. People cannot look inside but the person using the toilet can have a 360 degree view of the city square around.


The question however, if people will be able to step over the psychological barrier is questionable. Like people do not want to walk on glass floors, a transparent toilet might take some time to get used to. However people already got used to wearing dark sunglasses in order to freely watch people without beeing noticed.

Is this something we want to get ourselves used to?
