Can hostile architecture be used to promote cultural exchange?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal beliefs or feelings.

However, hostile architecture is intentionally designed to control and deter certain activities and marginalized groups of people from using public spaces. This type of architecture can exacerbate social division and exclusion rather than promote cultural exchange. Therefore, it is unlikely that hostile architecture can be used to promote cultural exchange effectively. Instead, architecture that encourages diversity and inclusivity is a better approach to promote cultural exchange.
