Hostile Architecture

Wikimedia

In the above photo (from Wikimedia): “This is an image of a concrete wall studded with metal plates to prevent grinding in sports such as skateboarding and rollerskating.”

Wikipedia defines hostile architecture as:

"...an urban-design strategy that uses elements of the built environment to purposefully guide or restrict behaviour. It often targets people who use or rely on public space more than others, such as youth and homeless people, by restricting the physical behaviours they can engage in.^[1] Also known as defensive architecture, hostile design, unpleasant design, exclusionary design, and defensive urban design, the term hostile architecture is often associated with "anti-homeless spikes" – studs embedded in flat surfaces to make sleeping on them uncomfortable and impractical, this form of architecture is most commonly found in densely populated areas. ..."

Moroccan Architecture

Twitter

Came across a Twitter post about Moroccan architecture. Somewhat of a debate occurred. Read the discussion as to what type of architecture this is, and/or view the other photos here.

In my humble opinion, Moroccan or not, the architecture is beautiful.

History of Architecture I

Class

Course:

History of Architecture I

Instructor:

Prof. Jacqueline Gargus, Knowlton School of Architecture, Ohio State University.*  

Summary:

"History of Architecture I (Arch 5110) is aimed at an audience of architecture students and traces thematic arcs to provide a conceptual overview of architectural history from pre-history through the nineteenth century. The intent is not to develop an historical or art historical argument, but rather to provide insight into the formal structure and technological challenges of the built environment. The ambition is to develop strategies that will help young architects make design decisions and better appreciate the richness of the material world as well as to understand the political and social implications of every architectural act."*
