Why are public bathrooms designed so poorly? (Devan Design Week)

For this edition of Devan Design Week, Devan Design Week II, we're going deep on bathrooms. We'll explore why hotels are getting rid of bathroom doors and walls, the movement to Bring Back Doors, whether bathroom sensors are actually racist, and if they're better for the environment and cleaner. Finally, we'll rank our favorite and least favorite bathroom locks.

Our guests this week are:

• Sadie from Bring Back Doors

• Katie Deighton from The Wall Street Journal, who reported on hotels removing bathroom doors earlier this year

• Charlotte Gartenberg from the upcoming podcast Welcome to the Bathroom

• Julia Lindsay, lock aficionado
