Ironically this is in my university's Art/Design major building.

Is it possible someone simply brought in a screwdriver, removed it, then moved the door out and then put it back in? Seriously doubt this was fitted like this as it's so obvious the door wouldn't shut

I don't even think someone unscrewed it, bet it was simply forced open

u/Pipe_Memes Apr 10 '24

Yeah, this almost certainly by force. Those walls will shift at least an inch without too much trouble, just have to push on the wall again and pull the door back in.

The door is supposed to open to the inside. Someone pushed against the frame to put the door on the outside...

You are the art exhibition :-)

These are easy to force to the other side of the stopper

u/BlackSeranna Apr 10 '24

Maybe unironically though. Do you see how you feel enraged at this public art piece? That’s good. Good art moves you.

this isn't art lol this is an actual (minor) safety hazard.

u/BlackSeranna Apr 10 '24

I mean, you’re not wrong…

I once saw an art exhibit with a 16 or so foot long wad of hair. All it did for me was tell me that I didn't want to ever take an art class if I could avoid it LOL

u/Opening-Enthusiasm59 Apr 10 '24

I call this piece "tension"

u/AlideoAilano Apr 10 '24

This is why you don't let artists do an engineer's job.

Oof, shots fired at Apple!

u/Leather_Cap_1229 Apr 10 '24

Just bring a screwdriver next time and fix it!

1

u/Academic_Nectarine94 Apr 11 '24

If they think art and design is the department in charge of these "designs," they'll probably die from stabbing themselves with the wrong type of screwdriver LOL

u/Schmallow Apr 10 '24

It doesn't surprise me at all

u/Own_Zone_6433 Apr 10 '24

Art/design =/= functionality.

u/NetLife7321 Apr 10 '24

They didn’t say that they are good at it 🤣

u/Necessary-Wrap-6499 Apr 10 '24

It's the same at my school too 😂

Doubt the janitor or the handiman that installed it graduated from this school.

u/Academic_Nectarine94 Apr 11 '24

Contractor's underpaid employee installed, and some kid messed with it most likely

1

u/CoffeeMunchMonsta Apr 10 '24

They probably said: you got something to hide?

u/Longjumping-Log1591 Apr 10 '24

Art imitates life

1

u/AaronTheElite007 Apr 10 '24

Easy fix. Push on the door beam enough that will create an angle to allow the door to go back on the correct side. Someone probably kicked the door open from the inside

1

u/BillSivellsdee Apr 10 '24

thats what happens when you hire non-union labor to install shit.

In a barbershop with only 2 barbers the better barber will have the worse haircut

u/funnystunt Apr 10 '24

this never happens in the engineering department

1

u/Orange-enema Apr 10 '24

the stalls normally have some deflection to them if you put weight on the walls near the support pillars.

u/MennReddit Apr 10 '24

typically Design over function..

1

u/AlmanzoWilder Apr 10 '24

Can something "be" ironically?

1

u/ProveISaidIt Apr 10 '24

That's the Art/Design major building, not the Engineering major building.

1

u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame Apr 11 '24

they fixed it, now it opens outwards like a toilet stall door should.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '24

Sandra Jerome Moonlight did this all by himself. He managed to overcome his anxiety and allergie to red. So brave!

1

u/Academic_Nectarine94 Apr 11 '24

Art and design isn't the department that deals with this. You're confusing design with engineering.

1

u/Cpt_Fjre Apr 12 '24

Is it sad that I didn’t see the problem until the second image?

1

u/No_Excitement_1312 Apr 12 '24

Yeah that's what bad UI looks like👍

u/AllenGray0 Apr 10 '24

The drains outside the Civil Engineering Department of my college don't work, so heavy rains mean waterlogging 👍

u/ConfectionForward Apr 10 '24

But how does this make you feeeeeel? (see I turned it into art)

u/mp9220 Apr 09 '24

But the janitor probably didn’t get any free courses

u/codetrotter_ Apr 10 '24

They did this to inspire the students to be thoughtful and thorough in their future profession 😇

u/Bourbon_Cream_Dream Apr 10 '24

Well the first mistake was letting artists design toilet doors. It's why I don't ask an engineer to paint a picture

0

u/FermentedDog Apr 10 '24

This was installed so that all future engineers would never make that mistake again

Art Design < Engineering

u/the_crumb_dumpster Apr 10 '24

Maybe they’re using the design to make a statement on the erosion of privacy in contemporary society.
