This paper describes and illustrates the Arch VIP toilet structures that are currently being developed in rural Zululand (Nongoma KwaZulu). The structures, in the form of a catenary, are produced entirely of unreinforced mortar plastered hessian which is formed by temporary wooden supports. The overall cost of the structures is remarkably low, and their strength and durability outstanding.
