TURNING ON ASKS AGAIN
[ h0stile_arch1t3cture ]
Hostile Architecture _ Definition : The deliberate design strategy that utilizes the built environment to guide or restrict certain behaviors in public spaces. Typically exclusionary and targeting the homeless and impoverished. Spikes. Steeply sloped surfaces. Armrests in the middle of benches.
It is a failure of empathy. An unnecessary and cruel way to remove any visual evidence of those considered beneath general society. A clear and blatant violation of the AIA's code of ethics. The architect's primary responsibility is to the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Not to the state. Not to a government organization. Not to a private client.
To the public.
She had spent years working for SHIELD, heading up the architectural response for disaster relief. Her work ranged from safety assessments of structurally compromised buildings, to reconstructing or restoring areas of significant damage, to creating new things, like modular shelters to be brought in pre-assembled in areas where there was a total loss. She even got to work with some of the new materials as they were discovered. She had taken pride in the type of work she was doing, despite the other side of SHIELD with its rumored super spies and secret agents.
After the fall of SHIELD, she discovered exactly what SHIELD had been doing with her work. It was impossible to tell where SHIELD's corruption ended and Hydra's began. To her horror, she found exactly what kind of perversions SHIELD had crafted, all with her work and research, with her name branded on all of it in blood.
Prison cells. Isolation chambers. Interrogation chambers. Experimental laboratories.
The list was endless. Pieces of her work were shoved together to create these monstrosities that mocked the ethics code she held herself to. Not only did it settle in her bones as a personal and professional violation, but the betrayal, first and foremost, was a moral outrage.
Her conscience ate at her, an acidic reaction that threatened to consume her as she tried to pick up the pieces of her career. Moving on wasn't a choice. The horrors only circled around her mind, mentally and emotionally strangling her until she could do nothing but pore over the atrocious chimeras that her designs had been manipulated into.
It clicked one night. Sleep was difficult to come by and she had been at it for hours trying to figure out what she could possibly do to make up for the terrible things she had unwittingly contributed to.
There it was.
A flaw in the schematic staring back at her. She zoomed in, rotated around it in 3D. Not a true design flaw, but one that contradicted the purpose they had concealed from her. A weakness. A point of sabotage.
What could she do with it, though? She was no Avenger. No super spy. No secret agent that could fight her way into one of these facilities, if she could even locate all of them.
She knew her limits.
But she also knew that inaction was not an option.
In her time at SHIELD she had picked up a few things from friends in other departments. She might not be able to physically fight. She couldn't stand up against a room full of armed guards.
But she could provide the information in hopes that someone else could.
When she found her way to the dark web, she paused only for a moment before typing in her new alias.
Hostile architecture had been the antithesis of everything she stood for. Here, it became a badge of shame, an acceptance of the burden of responsibility, and her weapon of choice.
She had created these architectural atrocities, even if not directly, and she would be the one to find the weak point in them and help tear them down.
