Hostile Triangles.

My thoughts as I spotted the staircase and started to frame the shot:

1. Hey, cool geometry! 😀
2. I wonder what those pyramids are for? 🤔
3. Oh. They're anti-homeless design, aren't they.😩

I know how Patty feels, most of the "shared spaces" I've encountered here in Ireland are de facto anti-pedestrian, practically hostile architecture, with cyclists routinely being aggressive towards pedestrians.

"'Kind of fed up': A San Francisco woman with a shovel is solving a neighborhood problem

To deter camping, locals installed metal planters on SF sidewalks. Who's responsible for their care?

It’s easy to spot Mary Hickey from afar. She’s the only person carrying a shovel on Van Ness Avenue. She plods along the avenue’s wide sidewalk in her red rubber boots, scanning the long row of metal planters bordering Fort Mason Park. Peering over one planter, she pulls out a Corona bottle wedged under the leaves of an agave plant.

Although her gloves, shears and rubber boots might suggest otherwise, Hickey isn’t a longtime gardener. She became one earlier this month, she says, after becoming 'kind of fed up' with the appearance of the planters in her neighborhood.

'I started noticing in the whole city the condition of these planters,' Hickey says. 'That they aren’t being maintained. There’s weeds and garbage and graffiti and everything else.'

A few years ago, rows of planters just like these — long, metal and oval-shaped — popped up on sidewalks around San Francisco. Although the plants served to beautify some neighborhoods, most locals seemed to agree on their tacit purpose: to prevent unhoused people from camping in front of homes and businesses. Planters often appeared on the former sites of tents or encampments. When filled with soil, the large metal planters weigh over 2,000 pounds.

Some of these planters were installed by homeowners and others by business owners. Critics pointed to the planters as a prime example of hostile architecture."

"Civil engineering to achieve social engineering.

Hostile architecture, also known as defensive architecture, exclusionary or defensive design or anti-homeless architecture is an urban-design strategy that utilizes elements of the built environment to intentionally guide or restrict behavior deemed undesirable by urban leaders. It often targets people who use or rely on public space more than others including youth, low-income people and people experiencing homelessness, who are disproportionately Black and Indigenous people. The effect is to also make the designs hostile to seniors, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and care givers for children and seniors.

Roots in social control & segregation:
Antecedents of 21st century hostile architecture can be seen in the following examples:

Social Control: The narrow streets of 19th century Paris, France were widened to help
the military quash protests;

Segregation: Robert Moses an American urban planner, designed a stretch of the Long Island Southern State Parkway in 1929 with low stone bridges so that buses could not pass under them. This made it more difficult for people who relied on public
transportation, disproportionately low-income and people of color, to visit the beach that wealthier, white, car-owners could visit.

(. . .)

Anti-homeless architecture

As homelessness enters into its 5th decade as both a rural and urban crisis,
not only in the USA but also in Europe and Japan, elected officials instead
of investing in affordable and accessible housing, have invested in anti- homeless architecture as a way to make it uncomfortable and encourage people experiencing homelessness to move on to another community.

Tobias Armborast, Daniel D’Oca and Georgeen Theodore, architects and
urban designers, inventory more than 150 'tools' or 'weapons' that are used
by planners, policymakers, developers, real estate brokers and community
activists that can be used to answer the question, 'who gets to be where?'
in their 2021 book, *The Arsenal of Exclusion and Inclusion*."

This is a pretty wild claim at a small shopping center next to a large shopping center and near a train station.

Bei feindseliger Architektur geht es nicht nur um Parkbänke. Es geht um die Linien, die wir auf Karten zeichnen, und um den Stahl, den wir in den Boden rammen.

◤ GRENZEN SIND FEINDSELIG.

Eine Erkundung der Schnittstelle zwischen Design und Geopolitik.

„Borders are Hostile“ ist eine visuelle Studie über Hostile Architecture & die „No Borders“-Bewegung.

Architektur wird oft als Waffe zur Verdrängung genutzt. Ich dekonstruiere diese Strukturen der Kontrolle – Zäune, Bolzen, Barrieren – durch eine technische Linse. Aus Werkzeugen der Trennung wird ein Statement gegen Grenzen.

Путь из подземки в «Авиапарк» (крупный московский молл) прям напоминает сцену с универмагом из «Кин-дза-дзы». На карачках заходить в мегамагазин не требуется, но весь путь выглядит как какой-то отталкивающий хастайл-человекопровод, ведущий на холодную, плохо освещённую парковку (от hostile architecture). #hostilearchitecture #MW #trash #shoping #Kindzadza #films #cyberpunk #comparisons

Shopping Kroger's website with ad blockers and a VPN is all but worthless. They want you unfiltered, location-on, and on that app, period. #HostileArchitecture #HostileUX

Sometimes I wonder if we should classify the anti-communal design of capitalist architecture as hostile architecture, like anti-homeless benches...

These look like they’re

- uncomfortable to sit on and
- uncomfortable to sleep on

This may in fact be #hostileArchitecture

It is always worth considering: what is the intention behind this #design?

#hostilearchitecture like this really doesn't stop someone from sleeping here.

I know this because I've slept on some, because when you're tired and cold enough, you'll sleep on just about anything other than the ground which acts like an infinite heat sink, and you're more likely to get weird bugs on you.

So you learn to sleep in weird positions, and be uncomfortable, and instead of a normal looking bench, you end up with dumbass ones like this one in #losangeles.

Someone on Reddit posted this screenshot showing that future Kalos in the new (?) Pokemon game features anti-homeless benches / hostile architecture.

Reddit source: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1izjtjg/future_kalos_has_antihomeless_benches/

This is too realistic. On the other hand, if that's an indication that in the next game I can fight asshat governments and contractors, fight urbanization and fight for better treatment of humans and Pokemon, it would be a Pokemon game I'd be interested in playing again. 😁

Really good point about the importance of #publicseating for #accessibility. This has been a big argument for many years here in #cville with the competing desire for #hostilearchitecture to harden public space against our growing #homeless population
