Bungled benches and scary stairs: 20+ Hostile designs that will turn people away ASAP


There's an entire branch of architectural design that's made not to entice people, but to drive them away instead. It's called "hostile architecture," and you probably see it all the time without ever noticing. Especially if you live in a major city — these things are everywhere! Lots of benches are designed with handles in the middle, to prevent people from sleeping on them. Other spaces are designed to have spikes or other bumpy objects on top to prevent folks from having a seat. And then, we have other objects that were meant to be welcoming, but instead, turned out pretty wonky. 

Check them out below! Then, check out the uniquely weird hot takes and fresh ideas from these big brained people on the internet.
