Ugliest buildings thread

If the Vatican were in Saudi Arabia:

Spoiler :

Must be a heck of a view from up there...

Spoiler :

LOL this reminds me this one of Iberdrola (an evil electric company) Tower (in Bilbao as well)

it is based in a similar one to this

^ That sterile cityscape reminds me of Docklands in Melbourne.

What's with all these open concrete stuff. The buildings themselves aren't that bad to look at, but is it too much to ask for some trees.

A huge electric razor in south London.
South of the Thames people need razors, but just giving them one massive one is of no help

Apparently the above (posted a while back) is in Japan.

And for a new one:

Obviously from England and London, this is the glorious 'Unite Stratford City', cause buildings should have cool names too and not just infants

 

[FriendlyFire]

I think that whoever lives in that building is likely turning to a serial killer :O

That building is practically a luxury spacious palace.
Greeks dont know the meaning of TINY

In my city:

Spoiler :

It's so bad.

Reminds me of this church in Finland:

Spoiler :

Looks are often deceiving, but this one is consistent in its ugliness:

Spoiler :

They've added those windows to one of the walls in a renovation, but they only serve to underline the gray blockiness of the other three walls, imo. I guess the idea is that you will beg for your soul to be saved after witnessing the sight of this church, and promptly enter. Alternatively, 'austere = spiritual' clicked a switch on the architect's temple, and the light of reason was extinguished to accommodate this singular vision. Ah, the wonders of (organized) religion.

EDIT: It's mostly the neat organs, but I'll give you that the theme works on the altar wall:

Isn't that the Shard? Oh no, it's the Strata Building.

Didn't I hear the other day that the Shard has been declared derelict, or something?

I really like that last church, Greizer. I think it would have a great sense of volume. But not in the sound kind. I'd be interested to know how they handled the acoustic challenges of a space like that.

Old style naturally blends with post modernism:

And more english brutalism, but the following looks somewhat cool and reminds me of Giger's lairs in the Alien

And a new nasty english modern building:

moar ugly buildings

Warhammer 40K chapel is real!

and

 

[Terxpahseyton]

I actually like the top one.

Okay, there are uglier things than what we have in our downtown area.

This is what happens when you let Wario design your buildings.

 

[Verbose]

Stockholm School of Architecture, 1960's "neo-brutalism" style-wise. Funnily enough many of the students like it. It's kind of raw concrete inside, almost unfinished, and they tended to find it creatively refreshing that things were precisely sort of... not-finished... crap stored in the hallways, where you could scavenge material for projects and stuff...

 

[Perfection]

^I think that most armies would allow their enemies to live in such a place, in a 'it's own worst punishment' vein

But check out this cool building in Tel Aviv--Israel:

Why would anyone want to live in an opening zipper-formed building? :\

Looks mildly better here, but still dumb and not really functional:

It's a a photoshop by Victor Enrich: https://www.dezeen.com/2012/02/25/city-portraits-by-victor-enrich/

The building really looks like this:

If I ever strike it rich and become a billionaire, I am buying this building complex.

 

[Thorgalaeg]

I think it has been already posted but was not finished back then.

Now it is! the exterior at least, but inside continues empty and without use. NK thinks it is Spain!

Dont know if it is the ugliest or most beautiful building though.
