Hostile architecture but look we put a dinosaur on it
post
This isn't nice. It's hostile architecture.
What a pretty way to make sure the homeless are reminded to go fuck themselves.
Also prevents bums from sleeping there
Who are "they"?
Everyone here is saying this is hostile architecture... but its from japan. The country with the lowest homelessness... totally cant be just quirky architecture. (Not that japan has a whole other set of social issues)
It is, though they do have other issues, like getting blackout drunk after a brutal day at a soul-crushing job and sleeping it off in public, which is what this is designed to prevent.
The infrastructure isn't just hostile to homeless people, but also to skaters, someone running/biking past a little to close, children playing and even people scooting over a bit to make room.
It's kind of like the curb cut effect but for making things worse.
