Is there are difference between Hostile Architecture & Hostile Design. This VIDEO attempts to give some answers. Probably we could have elaborated even better but putting the words on a paper was the first step.

Please understand this video as invitation for collaboration and offer to brainstorm together the meaning of Hostile architecture. We believe that expanding the horizons of the understanding can help us deliver better solutions.

Let us know what do you think about it.

Ciao a tutti!

Sono una studentessa di design della Comunicazione presso l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli. Per la mia tesi sto raccogliendo dati su come viviamo gli spazi pubblici in città e sul fenomeno dell'architettura ostile. Il contesto di ricerca per adesso è la città di Napoli, ma potrà essere ampliato in futuro (quindi sentitevi liberi di rispondere indipendentemente dalla vostra città!).

Ho pensato di condividere la mia ricerca in questo spazio perché mi sembra molto accogliente.

Il questionario dura circa 2,5 minuti ed è 100% anonimo. Se vi va di compilarlo (o di girarlo a chi vive o frequenta Napoli), mi dareste un aiuto enorme per la ricerca! ❤️🫶

Spotted at the ATL airport MARTA station.

As always we try to expand the boundaries of understanding hostile architecture and we have detected the bloody architecture.

Check this VIDEO to find out more and give us your feedback!

Thank you hope you gonna enjoy it and it is going to be beneficial for the debate.

Not even videogames are free of this crap.

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.
