In our daily lives, we find hostile architectural designs in our cities. For example, park benches have been firefighting short benches that cannot be lowered, and metal spikes with oxygen are installed under bridges. These design images are meant to maintain order or beautify the environment, but in reality they are filled with the appearance and indifference to the crowd. There is such a correlation between the presence of hostile design and the fact that people who have been harmed find these buildings ‘impossible to ignore’. When we pay more attention to the perspective of the homeless, we find that their plight is not just ‘homeless’ but ‘utterly destroyed’ – they are excluded from the dominant narrative of society and become invisible in the city.

Therefore, we hope to present this phenomenon through installation and performance art, to arouse the audience’s attention to this phenomenon, and to provoke people to rethink the carrying capacity of public space and social justice.
