architectural rejection

what is vernacular architecture?

https://www.archdaily.com/951667/what-is-vernacular-architecture "Vernacular architecture can be defined as a type of local or regional construction, using traditional materials and resources from the area where the building is located. Consequently, this architecture is closely related to its context and is aware of the specific geographic features and cultural aspects of its surroundings, being strongly influenced by them. For this reason, they are unique to different places in the world, becoming even a means of reaffirming an identity." ---> shouldn't all architecture be vernacular? in the sense of based on its surroundings, the cultural aspects, the people, the environment?

dark design // hostile architecture

what is dark design?

dark design is the deliberate shaping and design of urban spaces and artefacts with the intention of excluding particular activities and vulnerable social groups: urban spaces rejecting soft bodies Hostile architecture is an urban-design strategy that uses elements of the built environment to purposefully guide or restrict behaviour.

--> The complex relationship between laws prohibiting people to gather and make shelter is together with the concrete artefacts of dark design working to create an atmosphere of rejection.

"Proponents say this type of urban design is necessary to help maintain order, ensure safety and curb unwanted behavior such as loitering, sleeping or skateboarding."

the power of a bench

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/12/magazine/park-benches.html THE POWER OF A BENCH: "A park bench allows for a sense of solitude and community at the same time, a simultaneity that’s crucial to life in a great city. Maybe that’s the greatest power of the park bench: its capacity to retain and encourage the art of observation. A good bench catches us in our quietest, most vulnerable moments, when we may be open to imagining new narratives and revisiting old ones. Our masks are taken off, hung from the bench’s wrought iron. On other nearby benches, babies are being burped. Glances exchanged. Sandwiches eaten. Newspapers perused." --> If a park bench is not being removed, the backup plan is often to make it uncomfortable. “Hostile architecture” — an urban design strategy intended to impede “antisocial” behavior — is proliferating all over the world. ---> rejection of social behaviour/of people/o

design your own city

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20170605-the-psychology-behind-your-citys-design "One thing that is guaranteed to make people feel negative about living in a city is a constant sense of being lost or disorientated" "A visible manifestation of this are the “desire lines” that wend their way across grassy curbs and parks marking people’s preferred paths across the city. They represent a kind of mass rebellion against the prescribed routes of architects and planners. Dalton sees them as part of a city’s “distributed consciousness” – a shared knowledge of where others have been and where they might go in the future – and imagines how it might affect our behaviour if desire lines (or “social trails” as she calls them) could be generated digitally on pavements and streets." --> disorientation/

what is wayfinding?

The basic process of wayfinding involves four stages: Orientation is the attempt to determine one's location, in relation to objects that may be nearby and the desired destination. Route decision is the selection of a course of direction to the destination. Route monitoring is checking to make sure that the selected route is heading towards the destination. Destination recognition is when the destination is recognized
