Our behaviour in public spaces is highly determined by social norms. These norms may be observed through the way in which spaces are designed. Calculated measures are taken in order to exclude certain people from cityscapes. Often taking shape as discrete inventions, “defensive architecture” is designed to prevent unwanted behaviour. The subtle nature of these measures allows them to be regularly overlooked. Negative Space depicts these architectural gadgets in their surrounding contexts in order to observe them as more than just architectural objects. Instead, they are recognized as commodities that determine our movements within the public sphere.
