Design System {Autogrill}

Design system applied to a high complex context as the Autogrill’s travel knot.

Applying the Design for all methodology, the time of “need” becomes a detachment moment from the surrounding frenzy, in a place where everyone can retrieve the personal dimension either in a shared nearness.
The Design for all is an holistic discipline which designs spaces, products and on a human scale services enjoyable from everybody, independently of the social, physical, psychological and economic condition that people have.

The public toilet becomes a center for the every user’s wellness, an environment where everybody is free from difficulty and tension, from emotional, physical and psychological stress. Lights, materials and facilities give to everybody the perception of hygiene, privacies and usability.

The space is shaped by PareToilet, a system of modular walls, where in sanitaries are hooked up on them.  They contribute to articulate the space in the various zones without creating  a rigid space division. The environment is only one, the men and women’s area is in relation only for closeness/distance position. In that way people with disability who are with companion of sex opposed will not feel discomfort. In the middle of the central area there is a sofa-totem “Tatlin” (M.Cananzi e R.Semprini, produzione Edra, 1993), which  plays a role of lighthouse. That element set the tone of the environment and function as holding area where people can socialise.

The atmosphere is cheering and familiar and gives to the travellers an immediate recognition on the highway. 
The highway stop toilet ceases to be seen as wasted space and becomes a valued place.
