A cairn is a man-made pile of stones, assembled by humans in locations of natural worth. This cairn recognises everest as the pinnacle of what is naturally sublime, and acts to maintain its beauty, mitigating the deposition of human waste that is beginning to litter the mountain side. 

​

The easy to use, tactile system is transported and assembled by groups of climbers. The toilet itself is simple, yet clusters of them provide physical infrastructure for channelling waste back down the mountain. 

​

The project serves as a romantic analogy for the automated assembly of buildings, and its potential impact on architecture, in mitigating the discord between conceptualisation and construction.
