As you know we like exploring the boundaries of hostile architecture and hostile Urban enviorments.

Would be great if you could check out our latest VIDEO on Hostile Architecture, and help us brain storm these topics together.

Your feedback is more than welcome!

I thought this was an interesting perspective on the more subtle ways architecture can be hostile.

Metro in Montreal, Qc. This is one of those everyday moments where you realize the cruelty of our society.

Bonus: do you see the covered entrance? It was installed because there’s a risk of windows falling due to the building’s architecture.

The fence, sure. But the strategic boulders to prevent camping is a choice.

Is there invisible hostile architecture? Check this VIDEO where we try to give some answers via real study case. Some urban elements may not necessarily be considered as hostile but if linked together they can create hostile Urban environment.

Let us know what do you think?

Taken in Devon, UK. Built next to an new indoor market which is next to a site that just so happens to be frequented by sleeping homeless. Not the most hostile piece I have seen and I am sure someone determined enough can use it still but the intention is clear.

In this VIDEO, we are not directly exploring hostile architecture, but rather the process that often sets it in motion: gentrification.

You won't see hostile benches or anti-homeless spikes here. Instead, you'll see images of urban neighborhoods before they were aggressively reshaped by the forces of urban development.

Urban hostility takes many forms. While hostile architecture often imposes class power quietly and subtly, hostile urbanism does so on a much larger scale—transforming entire communities with the force of a hurricane.

Watch the video to see what we mean, and let us know your thoughts in the comments. We look forward to hearing your opinions.

There... isn't actually a seat? Worst example I've ever had to sit on in person. They REALLY don't want paying customers (!?) to hang around and enjoy their foods/drinks.

Videos from the official Facebook account of the mayor of San Salvador, capital city of El salvador, show police issuing fines to homeowners and business owners for hostile architecture.
