Resumen

El objetivo del artículo es examinar las nuevas tendencias en la regulación del acceso al espacio público, analizando las implicaciones jurídicas de la adopción de la arquitectura y los objetos hostiles como tendencia generalizada del diseño urbano. El documento aborda el interés creciente por la arquitectura y el diseño hostiles, con el objetivo de mostrar los aspectos normativos de dicha tendencia y cómo el derecho contribuye a configurar un espacio urbano más propenso a la inserción de objetos urbanos hostiles. Comienzo con un breve análisis de los intentos de definir y comprender la arquitectura hostil a través de algunos ejemplos y mostrando la importancia del tema para los estudios jurídicos y socio-jurídicos. A continuación, basándome en ejemplos de la legislación italiana, analizo cómo el vínculo entre el “decoro” y la arquitectura hostil da forma a los espacios públicos y cómo esto contribuye a crear un régimen específico de visibilidad y expulsión para determinadas categorías de personas. Por último, hago algunas observaciones sobre cómo el diseño hostil representa un reto para repensar las ciudades en términos más inclusivos.
