I understand that it's the normal term for the general concept, but it includes a large number of things:
"measures include sloped window sills to stop people sitting; benches with armrests positioned to stop people lying on them, and water sprinklers that "intermittently come on but aren't really watering anything."[4][5] Hostile architecture is also employed to deter skateboarding, littering, loitering, and public urination." There is an example of a 1800s church with a sloped wall, designed to deflect urine. That's quite different than spikes on a threshold, armrests on a bench, or metal brackets on the edge of a curb (meant to deter skateboarding). It's a big category, so it would be best to use precise tags for each thing. For example, if you want to tag a kerb which has guard to prevent easy skateboarding, then add something like "anti-skate_devices=yes" or "skate_prevention=yes", don't use "hostile_architecture=yes" because that is non-specific: it's not clear if what is prevented is sitting, lying down, or skating. -- Joseph Eisenberg On Sun, Aug 23, 2020 at 2:20 PM Peter Elderson <[email protected]> wrote: > > The British really call bench construction "architecture"?
