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.

    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.
