Apparently they don't get pee fright in Switzerland... or if they do, then this public toilet must stay really clean because most people wouldn't actually be able to use it! It's made one-way reflective glass. Even though you can see them and they can't see you, I couldn't do it. I'd never be able to pee with people walking by.
Implications - Since urban consumers are spending less time at home, and more time on-the-go or at work, public spaces, including bathrooms, are being transformed by architecture and design. This reflects the overall theme in which cities wish to set themselves apart in order to attract media attention and tourism opportunities.
