Hostile architecture is among the symptoms of the hostile modern city, where neighbours never say hi, and people die on the streets as people walk passivly by.

    And I feel sad about most pigeon protectors spikes too.

    Why design such a place in nature (buildings), that contact of the smallest bit of nature requires extra maintenance or add-ons.

      You feel bad for pigeon spikes and are asking why things that are built require maintenance or additions due to natural causes…? That seems patently obvious to me. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

        The question is why not design it to need less maintenance & be accommodating to animal and plants.

        Why some styles are chosen isn’t just art but often also economy pushing what’s profitable.

          Mmk. I think maybe addressing the causes of the rampant and expanding unhoused population would be a good priority.

            I was talking about pigeons & other nature, but I guess homeless people too.

            Why not create places for them or at least modify the places they use to better suit them.

            I’m don’t mean this as a solution, just that its dickish to not think about environment that is being created.
