[JS Required] The Restroom Archive

Repo.

The Restroom Archive is an ongoing case study that aims to document and celebrate the public restroom. What started as a joke in 2023 has become a years-long practice of 3D scanning the restrooms in restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, coffee shops, and various other spaces across the U.S. and Europe.

The scans are meant to capture the humorous, chaotic, and often scary nature of these uniquely private publicly accessible spaces.

Through capturing the diverse decor, graffiti, and artifacts, both stored and left behind, I consider public restrooms to be a reflection of both the creativity and impertinence of human nature when we think nobody else is watching.

Scans were made with LiDAR using Polycam for iPhone. This site was built using Vue.js and Three.js and is currently hosted on GitHub pages.

What is NoSQL good for?

I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.

So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.

  1. What problem is it trying to solve?
  2. What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
  3. Where are its weaknesses?
  4. Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
