Thank you, what a lovely read!
One of the most common (and least visible) attempts at exclusionary design is not to just not build any public seating at all. It's quite common in financial districts, the only people they want in thoe spaces are either walking to work or getting lunch.
And yea, I'd say the most useless of them are mostly there to offer the illusion of a civil, public space. They are perches for the consumer class to drink a coffee on and nothing more. Though, I don't think those spherical ones are even intended for perching. It's just a slightly more visually appealing way of stopping people leaning up against the wall than... with another wall??
Take a first-person wander through Monuments to Guilt, a short exhibition exploring exclusionary design. Acquaint yourself with the core principles of this harmful practice, re-evaluate the objects you see every day and let guilt sit with you, for just a little while.

Hello,
Just wanted to say thank you for making this. I've been deciding wether or not to start a beginners course in video game art production and I've been on the edge. But seeing this has been inspiring, for lack of a better word. You made a thing that I really like and got me to realise their might be a space for me to carve something of my own.
I'm also furious because now I can't make it this! lol
