A NATUREZA INCONSTITUCIONAL DA ARQUITETURA HOSTIL UTILIZADA EM CENTROS URBANOS BRASILEIROS

Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the burgeoning phenomenon of hostile architecture within major urban centers, exploring the economic and social motivations that underlie this contemporary design approach adopted across the globe. It advocates for a reflective analysis of the social rights of citizens and the exclusionary impacts that such architectural practices can engender in society. Employing a deductive and comparative methodology alongside an extensive bibliographic review, this research seeks to address various dimensions of the topic through the frameworks of constitutional law and legal sociology. The ultimate objective is to provide a comprehensive social analysis that encompasses the current movements shaping contemporary society and their distinctive characteristics. This inquiry underscores the significance of human social rights, particularly in relation to dignity and equitable access to free leisure activities and public spaces in urban environments, thereby aiming to promote the social integration of citizens.
