These simple blue suits expose the hidden cruelty built into our cities.

Archisuits is a powerful wearable art project by artist Sarah Ross that draws attention to hostile architecture—design choices in public spaces that are intentionally uncomfortable. From benches designed to prevent lying down to ledges shaped to block rest, these structures quietly control who is allowed to exist in shared spaces.

By transforming these harsh architectural forms into exaggerated blue suits, Ross makes the invisible visible. What usually blends into the background of urban life suddenly becomes impossible to ignore. The artwork asks an important question: Who are our cities designed for—and who are they designed to exclude?

More than fashion or performance art, Archisuits is a social commentary on power, inequality, and accessibility in modern urban environments. It challenges viewers to rethink everyday design and recognize how something as simple as a bench can become a tool of exclusion, especially for vulnerable communities like the homeless.

This project reminds us that design is never neutral—and that public spaces should serve people, not push them away.
