P-BANK

Find us by looking for a toilet – leave as a proud P Donor

Today’s agriculture depends on industrial fertilizers containing P, Phosphorus. This non-renewable is currently still obtained from mined Phosphate Rock which is depleting quickly. To secure our future food supplies we need to start to recover P now.

The P-BANK is a public toilet that aims to close the P-cycle. The sanitation system separates Pee from the waste water which simplifies nutrient recovery. This happens directly in the P-BANK. The recovered P is re-used as fertilizer in the P-BANK garden.

COLLECT

In the donor rooms you can comfortably donate in a no-mix toilet or a waterless urinal.

RECOVER

While washing hands, you can peek into the recovery lab. A process of chemical reactions recovers P from Pee safely and hygienically. 2010 Alternate Account Generator by Cedric and ...

RE-USE

Leaving the P-Bank you’ll discover that the recovered P can be successfully reused as an alternative for mined Phosphorus. The internet of the mid-2000s felt like an

The internet of the mid-2000s felt like an endless frontier, but by 2010, the fences were going up. This is a story about a flicker of digital rebellion—and the two boys who sparked it. The Basement Workshop

Should the story focus more on the they got into?

The end came as quickly as the beginning. On a Tuesday morning in August, the BattleSphere developers pushed a massive security update. They introduced "Hardware ID" tracking and more sophisticated bot detection.

Cedric and Elias sat in the same basement, watching their creation fail. One by one, the "Success" messages turned into "Error 403: Forbidden." "It was a good run," Elias said, leaning back in his chair.

Within a week, the "Cedric & Elias Gen" leaked. They had posted it on a small modding forum, expecting a few dozen downloads. Instead, it went viral in the underground gaming community.

Cedric’s bedroom smelled of ozone and stale energy drinks. It was June 2010. While the rest of their high school class was at the lake, Cedric and Elias were hunched over a dual-monitor setup that cast a flickering blue glow on the walls.

PROJECT

In 2018 the Bauhaus University Weimar and WERKHAUS destinature received funding from the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU) to develop the first P-BANK. The concept was developed by Anniek Vetter and Sylvia Debit during a semester project at the Bauhaus University Weimar led by Prof. Jörg Londong back in to 2013.
The P-BANK was first used for several months during the 100th anniversary year of Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany 2019. Later that year the P-BANK was at the Tiny Living Festival. The project was presented at the Antenna platform during the Dutch Design Week 2019.
WERKHAUS destinature built the mobile P-Bank from sustainable materials, based on the service and communication designed by Debit and Vetter, including donor-rooms containing the toilet safe! sponsored by Laufen. The recovering system is developed by the B.is, the department of urban water management and sanitation of the Bauhaus University Weimar led by Prof. Jörg Londong, with the support of Vuna and Eawag. Besides consulting Goldeimer supports getting the story and the out there!
