RECENT PUBLICATIONS

STUD: Architectures of Masculinity : Joel Sanders' pioneering work STUD was republished as part of the Routledge Revival Series, marking the book's 25th anniversary. The reprint contains a new Preface which assesses STUD's strengths and limitations through today's lens, and traces how Samders' work is now informed by a more expansive and inclusive conception of the intersection of gender, human embodiment and space.

Pipe Dreams: The Urgent Global Quest to Transform the Toilet by Chelsea Wald : MIXdesign's Associate Director, Seb Choe, was featured in Chelsea Wald's recent book Pipe Dreams, which profiles scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and activists worldwide who are working to make toilets accessible and healthier for all.

Facility: A Magazine about Bathrooms : An interview with Seb Choe about Stalled! was recently published in Facility Magazine.
