Don't expect a diaper-changing table made of undulating sheets of titanium. Or toilet bowls of corrugated cardboard. Or walls that curve away like sails under a stiff wind around a 50-metre-high atrium with a metal flower skylight. These signs that the imagination of architect Frank Gehry has been at work are absent from the two understated new Gehry-designed washrooms (men's and women's) that the Art Gallery of Ontario has just opened to the public. Gehry's signature on the AGO johns' design is a subtle thing, but the gallery can rightfully claim to be flushed with pride about the new facilities -- and those who are curious about Transformation AGO should not, er, stall in checking them out. They're the template for the AGO's new total of eight washrooms (there were four before the redesign began) and hint at the entire project's look.
