Those Dubai towers are no match for Clockzilla. It seems like every second month there is a skyscraper on fire in Dubai. They have no muscle power, only height. Skyscrapers on Viagra.

Clockzilla is the Chuck Norris of fugly buildings.

That's because you have yet to bask in the glory that is CanadInns. You want boring, cheap design? You want tacky gimmicky architecture? You want your soul sucked out of your body so quickly the vacuum creates a fireball around your body? Behold! Yea,the first seal hath been broken and I give unto thee...

Thy beastliest and most seditious of grotesqueries to grace the halls of this hallowed website. Thine host has never before witnessed catastrophes of such mighty magnitude! Fall to thine knees and thank thine lord, blessed be his name, for sparing your fair city the trials of CanadInns development!

Ball bearings?

I don't know whats uglier, the house, the fact that the realtor has his finger in the picture, or the giant buttplug tree!

There's also a donut place here called Glory Hole. The sad thing is, is that the donut's that they make kick ass (no pun intended

I always liked Salmon Arm's name and the images it conjures up!

Dildo NWFLD, Asbestos QC, and Swastika ON deserve mention as well.

EDIT: Are Goobies Newfoundland and Dildo sister cities.

Not ugly. Just looks... incomplete. Can anyone explain why they'd build 3/4 of a house? This is in suburban Hamilton.

Passed in front of this authentic medieval castle yesterday.

It's in the "ugly zone", where it's actually better than the rest.

That is so weird. Built with a future extension in mind, I wonder?

This thread is not for pointing out offensive opinions outside of architecture, planning and design. This thread is not for pointing out people in poor health or people with limited design choices.

This thread is about pointing towards things we build that are shoddy, not prepared for display, or misguided theories of form or function.

Proceed.

why did the original thread get closed?

As per Xelebes comments in creating this replacement thread. To everyone's credit, those groundrules have been adhered to.

I'd never really noticed this ugly midrise on Vancouver's West Side, in Kits until this year. A pretty grungy piece of architecture rendered worse by a possible two story addition? I can't imagine it was originally designed like that!

^what kind of a person would want something that hideous? I mean, if you have the money, jesus there are really nice things you could build. But that? It is the housing equivalent of this:
