This was a little different organising project – but different is good and I learnt a lot:
Last year I was asked to be part of a toilet refurbishment team for a primary school which had secured funds from the state government. To get the kids accountable for their own toilets we decided to get them as involved as possible and so we conducted workshops with every single class to teach them how to make mosaics from broken tiles. I thought 14 classes over a couple of weeks. We made them aware that famous Architect had done brilliant things with tiles. There are public toilets in the north of Auckland which are a tourist attraction. http://www.pbase.com/philinnz/kawakawa_toilets And Antonio Gaudi last century in Barcelona http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/gaudi/park-guell.html
