Hostile architecture
quiet yet intentional design strategy that shapes our public spaces under the guise of functionality, but with the purpose of exclusion.
Benches too short to lie on, or metal dividers disguised as “aesthetic” elements all designed to keep certain people out.
In this project, I explored how the language of form and structure can reflect these messages. What happens when design stops serving people and starts controlling them?
Can we reclaim these shapes and reassign them a new purpose one that includes instead of rejects?
This is about more than objects.
It’s about who has the right to exist in public space and who doesn’t.
