The Twentieth Century Society is set to kick up a stink over plans by Surrey-based consultant Simmons Taylor Hall to upgrade the men'stoiletsatthe Barbican and destroy what is believed to be London's longest urinal. In what could be described as a slash-and-burn strategy, the firm wants to replace the behemoth, slab-like, communal wee-wall on the first floor of the listed London estate's famous art centre, with individual ceramic bowls. The work was commissioned by the Barbican in response to a pile of complaints about the existing Chamberlin, Powell and Bon-designed facilities, including grumbles overthe stench and lack of privacy for those spending a penny.
