架构师提供的文本描述。女士鸟湖远足和自行车小径是一个直线公园的风景和景观，沿着科罗拉多河两岸在奥斯汀市中心。公园在跑步者和骑自行车者中非常受欢迎，它为居民和游客提供了在城市环境中逃离乡村的机会。公厕是30多年来在公园内建造的第一个公共厕所，是由一个社区非营利性组织城市湖径基金会与城市公园和娱乐部门合作建造的。

Text description provided by the architects. The Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail is a linear park of scenic trails and landscaping that follows the banks of the Colorado River in downtown Austin. Very popular among runners and bike riders, the park provides residents and visitors with a rural escape in an urban setting. The Restroom—the first public restroom built in the park in over 30 years—was built by the Town Lake Trail Foundation, a community-based non-profit organization, in partnership with the city's Parks and Recreation Department.

洗手间被认为是公园里的一个雕塑，是一个活跃的小径上的动态物体。这个结构由49块3/4英寸厚的垂直Corten钢板组成，其宽度和高度变化很大，从1‘-0“宽1’-6”高到2‘-0“宽13’-0”高。面板沿脊梁排列，一端缠绕形成卫生间墙壁。盘子交错排列，以控制视野，并允许光线和新鲜空气的穿透。门和屋顶都是用3/4英寸厚的钢板制作的。

The Restroom was conceived as a sculpture in a park, a dynamic object along the active trails. The structure consists of forty-nine 3/4" thick vertical Corten steel plates whose width and height vary significantly in size, from 1'-0" wide by 1'-6" high to 2'-0" wide by 13'-0" high. The panels are arranged along a spine that coils at one end to form the restroom walls. The plates are staggered in plan to control views and to allow for the penetration of light and fresh air. Both the door and roof were fabricated from 3/4" thick steel plate

卫生间是无障碍的，除了室内的一个马桶、小便池、水池和长凳外，还包括一个饮水机和淋浴间。简单的建筑需要最少的维护：管道固定装置是由重型不锈钢制造的，内部不需要人工照明或机械通风，而且Corten钢板会随着时间的推移自然出现气候变化。

The restroom is handicapped accessible and includes a drinking fountain and shower outside in addition to a commode, urinal, sink and bench inside. The simple building requires minimal maintenance: the plumbing fixtures are made from heavy-duty stainless steel, there is no need for artificial light or mechanical ventilation inside, and the Corten steel panels will weather naturally over time.
