The World's Ugliest Buildings

[SS-18 ICBM]

Not a good color.

Locally this is known as the Butt Ugly Building

I hate Brutalist Styles - The Trellick Tower, London

Spoiler :

The Golden Mile Complex - Possibly Singapore's ugliest building and the closest thing to a slum.

Spoiler :

The Scottish Parliament. They were definitely drunk when they picked this design. Its a travesty to the Scottish landscape

I was going to post this - it is so dreadful and ugly. That archetecture has no history in the west.

I also dislike skyscrapers they all look the same no matter what city your in so you can't tell differant cultures apart from their buildings anymore. Another step to world government...

There are an enormous number of buildings that are far uglier than the ones in this thread.

Agreed

Some sort of monstrosity in Belgrade

The elephant buiding - somewhere in Asia I think

Frank Gehry must be destroyed.

My wife's sister and her husband live in a Frank Gehry home:

I think 50% of the buildings in this thread are actually quite pretty.

The Palace of the Republic - former seat of the DDR parliament:

There is a number of Gehry buildings here in Düsseldorf, and I think they actually look quite pretty.

Post them then.

Ugly past, ugly appearance (yes, I know it was meant to be that way).

Bar a few notable exceptions, communists are appallingly bad at architecture.

I like some of the buildings in this thread, especially some in the OP. I think the Boston City Hall is the ugliest one, and I've seen it way too much. This is Uris Hall at Cornell. I have to see it everyday. It was supposed to be the color of the Statue of Liberty but ended up rust colored.

This is the University of Waterloo Math building. I spent way too much time there.

IMO it is a travesty of architectural madness.

And see that blue piece of "art" right in front of the truck? They painted that thing PINK.

I know you're not supposed to post obscene pictures on CFC, but hopefully this will pass:

How can you hate Gherkin? It is a clean design, not too busy and has great internal structure.

Personally a lot of the building posted are not ugly. But that Scottish parliament and some of Gehry works make me nauseous physically, way too busy.
