Outhouse by Famous Architects

The breakthrough work from architect Steve Schaecher that examines the ways in which the master architects addressed that obnoxious building type called the outhouse. 29 wonderful renderings illustrate each master architects personal style. These pictures are accompanied by essays that explain why this architect is worthy of the honor of being included in a book of outhouses. Published in 2000 by Pomegranate, this book will be a classic for every "library"

If you like the book(s) you should be sure to write me a review on one of the vendors websites - but only if you like it.

The idea for the Outhouses book came from the Oblique View cartoons featured in the AIArchitect newspaper. The first of the outhouses conceived was Flushing Water by Frank Lloyd Wright (a parody of his most famous work, Fallingwater). After the cartoon was finished, I thought to myself, "Hey, this is pretty good, it would be easy to do other masterpieces as outhouses and produce a series of these." I then proceeded to draw 11 more (12 total) that I felt may have the potential to become a marketable calendar (still could). I sent the 12 drawings to Pomegranate because they are the primary publisher of the high quality architectural calendars. They liked it so much they decided to make it a book instead of a calendar. That floated my boat just fine.

"OUT"-Takes
these fine gems unfortunately did not make the pages of the book however they shall live in immortality on this website (likely still never to be seen by anyone):

Albert Speer didn't make the first cut - but I really like the drawing and the oppressive Third Reich appearance of the outhouse. He was Hitler's architect during the war.

This outhouse did not even make it to the coloring board. Macintosh is indeed a great architect who should naturally be honored with a fictitious outhouse. But this drawing failed to capture the spirit of his work and is unrecognizable to even the well trained eyes. I think the pun works though.
