Architect Rick Reeder explains how perimeter security can be both functional and stylish. Reeder designs what he calls “artful security” His designs keep dangerous intruders out without reminding everyone in the area that the building is highly secure. The anti-ram bench sits at the entrance of a building in downtown Boston as a deterrent. The bollards are cast out of stainless steel, are roughly five hundred pounds apiece and are extremely sturdy, said Reeder. The tops have a ripple-like pattern for aesthetic purposes.”]
