In this article, “Architectural Exclusion: Discrimination and Segregation Through Physical Design of the Built Environment,” the author, Sarah Schindler explains how architectural designs are built to keep poor people and people of color out of certain places. The article claims that certain architectural designs such as bridges, sidewalks, crosswalks, walls, gates, fences, transits,  transit stop, and many other designs are built environments that control human behavior and go unnoticed. An architect named Robert Moses once built a low bridge which hindered 12 foot tall busses from reaching the other side of town. These bridges kept people from going to one location to the next. Wealthier people have opposed to expanding transportation, such as the MARTA to intentionally keep poor people out. These people believe that if they did allow it, it would bring more crime to their communities. This then made became an inconvenience for poor people and black people to be transported from place to place due to the limited areas in which they could travel. Sidewalks and crosswalks are created to for safe travel between pedestrians and vehicles, but the absence of them makes it hard to cross the street and enter into other neighborhoods. If someone wanted to cross neighborhoods they would have to walk on the edge of busy roads. Some architectural designs are straightforward such as walls, gates, and fences that intentionally block out poor and colored people. A good example suggested by the article is walled ghettos where Jews and Arabs were made to live in their own areas. This design was said to be nothing out of the ordinary and it still exists today. Gated communities are built to explicitly imply that they don’t want certain people in their communities. Communities are set up to keep black people out. The way transits are designed is another architectural design that is intended to keep people from reaching certain areas of the community. The placement of the transit stops were more convenient for people with higher income than people of lower income who desperately needed transportation to work. The article suggests how transits have put people of color and lower income in dangerous situations, where certain stops were cross from jobs with busy highways intervening and maybe causing pedestrian and vehicle collisions. Transportation and other architectural designs continued to hinder people of color and people of who receive low income. Many have tried to get the idea thrown out by local government officials, but often time they use their powers to build exclusionary environments themselves. More than often architectural exclusion go unseen by courts, legislators, and potential plaintiffs because they fail to take it seriously. They may see it as intentional exclusion, but they would not analyze it as regulation as they would the law. Schindler creates this article to bring awareness to racism that goes unnoticed. The author claims that these architectural designs make it very hard for black people and people to access wealthier communities and better jobs, making it even harder for them to be successful.
