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.
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.
Leaving the P-Bank you’ll discover that the recovered P can be successfully reused as an alternative for mined Phosphorus.
In the landscape of popular media—from blockbuster films and streaming series to viral TikTok skits and romance novels—few workplace dynamics are as enduringly dramatic as the relationship between an employee and their superior. At the heart of many of these narratives is a character archetype often subtly named or coded as "Layla." This figure embodies the complex, often controversial, trope of the employee whose primary screen function involves navigating, surviving, or strategically "pleasing the boss."
Early depictions were binary: the "Layla" was either a sycophantic "yes-person" who gained favor through flattery (a comedic figure in shows like The Office 's minor characters) or a tragic figure whose efforts to please led to exploitation (a drama trope in films like The Devil Wears Prada ). The last decade has seen a radical transformation. Modern entertainment content—especially in streaming series ( Succession , Industry , The Morning Show ) and popular fiction (Colleen Hoover’s workplace romances, for instance)—has given the "Layla" archetype interiority.

This article explores how entertainment content has constructed, deconstructed, and repackaged this archetype, moving from simple caricature to a nuanced exploration of power, ambition, and self-preservation. The name "Layla" (meaning "night" or "dark beauty" in Semitic roots) has been used in media to suggest mystery, allure, and often, a hidden burden. In classic workplace dramas of the 1980s and 1990s—such as Working Girl (1988) or Disclosure (1994)—the character analogous to Layla was frequently the executive assistant or junior associate. Her primary narrative purpose was to be a pawn in the boss's game: loyal, overworked, and expected to manage not just schedules but egos. In the landscape of popular media—from blockbuster films

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!
