Do you know what hostile architecture is?

Design at its most hostile

How public spaces keep the public out

Here are a few examples of hostile architecture. It comes in many forms, this is just a small illustration. Many people are not aware that behind this architecture are such "evil" intentions. It is an inhumane way of driving away inhabitants.

Anti homeless spikes

These spikes are placed to prevent people from sleeping in a save place. It's a pretty aggressive way to "fix" this “problem”.


02

Benches

Handrails are placed in strange places so that it is not possible to lie on them.


03

Mosquito

These speakers give a very high beep, which mainly young people can hear. The idea is to "drive them away".
