Today's Urban Design Observation: Failures of Design Lead to the Need for Aftermarket Products
I don't know that this is a failure of design per se. The building was probably there well before the tenant moved in. Who's to say the original occupant didn't enjoy sitting on the window sill him or herself after a long day.
A "failure of design" is also responsible for the creation of the word: retrofit.
No, the strips are not special. They are closure strips you used to support corrugated roofing. You can find them at Home Depot. They have been repurposed to keep people from sitting.
Will update the post to reflect this. Thanks Mike!
