Mo San
Mo San , an abbreviation for Mobile Sanitation , is the name of a toilet for urban slums .
background
Since 2010, industrial designer Mona Mijthab has been campaigning, especially in Bangladesh, to improve the hygienic living conditions in urban slums in Southeast Asia. A sanitation solution was sought for the area of illegal informal settlements. Many residential huts have no infrastructure and no sewage system. For women, living conditions are made more difficult because access to public toilets is considered dirty and frowned upon.
Project
Design drafts were pushed forward by consular offices in cooperation with the German Society for International Cooperation . The development project "Urban Governance Infrastructure Improvement Project (UGHP 2)" showed different solution approaches as well as design studies and finally presented the Mo San by Mijthab. It integrates design and sustainability in the sanitary area. Product design and environmental protection merge. Today the project manager in Bangladesh is working on the implementation.
technology
With the support of Professors Wohlgemuth and Gerth from the Competence Center for Applied and Transfer-Oriented Research , the material was selected and tested. A "quick dirty model" was used on a trial basis. The development of a small series in Bangladesh is currently based on the model of the company "Modell- und Formenbau Sachsen-Anhalt". Polyester resin , other composite plastics and jute are used as materials .
