60 Examples Of Architecture And Design That Don’t Prioritize Safety

Unsafe For Morons But Safe For Everyone Else

Architecture and design are complex and fascinating topics that have a constantly changing discussion about the balance between form and function. We’ve written about the importance of symmetry and the homogenization of design and tackled the issue of aesthetics versus safety. We believe both are important, but should aesthetics trump safety?

To help you think about this question, we’ve curated some of the best posts from r/ArchitectureForAdults, an online community dedicated to sharing beautiful architecture and engineering designs. The members of this community are also passionate about sharing their thoughts on safety and aesthetics.

At the time of writing, there were over 3,700 members of r/ArchitectureForAdults. We hope the community will continue to grow and expand over time due to the variety of content they share. It’s also an excellent way to prepare for your upcoming trip.

You can’t expect the same safety standards in every area. For instance, you must focus on the small steps in front of you, the railings that don’t come up to your knees, and the double-decker buses you can ride on.

According to the subreddit, these designs are “unsafe for morons but safe for everyone else.” However, I think that it’s ridiculous to have low railings. I believe that both beauty and safety should coexist. That design should not be sacrificed for the sake of practicality. Also, while having unique and beautiful designs is possible, it doesn’t automatically make them more attractive.

We’re asking you to upvote your favorite photos from this gallery to see which one you liked the most. I’m sure that you’ll agree that this is a great time to collect yourself some more. If you’re a person who fears heights and falling, then please go ahead and hang on to your hats.

  • Project : Emulating the natural, cultural and historical importance of #Malinalco, #Mexico, home to one of the world’s three monolithic pyramids, the Mague House integrates the sanctity of the natural terrain into its architecture.

Mexican studio @mcxa.group [IG] designed the home’s volumes to carefully avoid any disturbance to the trees and flora of the sloping plot, resulting in an architectural space that meanders its way through outdoor spaces and abundant foliage.

Local materials such as wood, stone and the Mayan version of stucco, chukum, form a dwelling that is decidedly contemporary yet well within a pre-Hispanic cultural context. Slatted wood walls and large portions of glass take turns in forming a façade that simultaneously welcomes natural light into the space while offering its inhabitants their privacy. 

The different rooms are distributed along both sides of a cemented footpath that cuts across Mague House’s rectangular floor plan. Certain rooms were designed to be multifunctional and flexible, easily shifting from an area of rest to work.
A number of exterior terraces and patios dot the property, culminating in the main outdoor area which hosts a swimming pool, a monolithic stone bonfire pit, and a wooden pyramid-inspired structure.

  • House in minimalist Wabi-Sabi style by @selami.arq [IG]

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.

Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature.

"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

Based on this philosophy, I wanted to design a house in the style of wabi sabi, which is widely used in architecture. What are your thoughts?
