The Introduction to my Thesis and research topic is summed up by quote from Andreas Dornbracht (from his chapter Ritual, People, Architecture in D. Hebel and J. Stollmann's Architecture Unplugged).
"...If we want to find ourselves, we must enjoy ourselves. In an individually personalized environment. In our own personal bathroom. A bathroom that, in its entirety, is a kind of interface for our physical and spiritual needs and which also reflects them.”[1] (Dornbracht, 2005, P.21)
[1] Dornbracht, A. (2005). People, Ritual, Architecture. In D. Hebel & J. Stollmann (Eds.), Bathroom Unplugged: Architecture and Intimacy (pp. 21- 25). Basel, Switzerland: Birkhäuser.
And so, for Sketch Essay 2, I have put this as an Introduction, as a sort of accompaniment to my own Introduction which is to be much more personal. Dornbracht's notions of an "individually personalized environment" echo my desire for a bathroom solely for myself.
