The cultural aspects of ritual and sanitary necessities of hygiene have added to complexities in bathroom design, and driven development of alternative construction methods, specifically prefabrication.
This congenial graphic architectural history examines the significance of the prefab bathroom in the history of prefabricated technologies in the built environment. The cultural aspects of ritual and sanitary necessities of hygiene have added to complexities in bathroom design, and driven the development of various alternative construction methods, specifically prefabrication.

First introduced with Buckminister Fuller's 1936 Dymaxion Bathroom, and subsequently revisited by many architects and designers, the prefab model has expanded to "pod" and "plug-in" concepts on the building- and city-scale.

Her research and design has been published most recently in Interior Design, Metropolis, Dezeen, and Inhabitat as well as in peer reviewed journals and as chapters in books. Bishakh Som is an artist, illustrator and graphic designer. His previous work has appeared in The Graphic Canon (vol. 3), The Brooklyn Rail and Specs Journal,. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
