hostile architecture
noun[ U ]
uk /ˌhɒs.taɪl ˈɑː.kɪ.tek.tʃər/ us /ˌhɑː.stəl ˈɑːr.kə.tek.tʃɚ/(alsodefensive architecture)
the design of public spaces in a way that stops unwanted behaviour, for example putting spikes(= pieces of metal with a sharp point) in doorways to stop people who have nowhere to live from sleeping there: 不友好建筑，敌意建筑（如在门口装置道钉以阻止流浪者睡在那里）
The problem with hostile architecture is that it doesn't aim to address the crisis of homelessness. 敌意建筑的问题在于其目的并不是要解决无家可归这个迫切的议题。
Once you know what hostile architecture is you’ll see it everywhere: dividers on benches and leaning rests instead of seats.
Hostile archtecture is often used to deter rough sleepers.
Hostile architecture can be as subtle as simply not providing a place to sit.
Is hostile architecture designing people (and nature) out of cities?
