Wider landscape of the toilet setting

I’ll never forget having the most bazaar meeting with a Project Engineer and a few others. The Project Engineer was deeply concerned about a proposed material for some toilet door in a public wash room facility.   His concern centred around whether the material would allow holes to be easily created – not by peeping toms – but by those seeking to engage in sexual acts. Our minds collectively boggled. We innocents were shocked and laughed in disbelief.

Upon looking at the design of these public toilets two thoughts came to mind. Are these architects playing around with symbols.  I must send these images to that Project Engineer.
