The UGLIEST building in the world
Please, one nomination only, and one photograph only, per post.
For Canada, I nominate La Residence Soleil (Retirement complex), in beautiful downtown Laval, Quebec. I believe that this is not only the ugliest building in Canada, but perhaps, in the known universe. Look at it. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...C/IMG_7364.jpg francely57 |

In Houston is Probably the new Memorial City Hospital. Its really ugly and the space they built this on is much smaller than what it looks like in the picture.

That looks like something a 6 year old would build with a bunch of legos.

In Troy Michigan it has to be the Delphi World Headquarters. I see it every day and every day it makes me think of a postmodern Noah's Ark. It looks even worse somehow from the opposite (highway) side without the main entrance.

We've entered a post-modern age for quite a while already anyway. Since the 80s, I guess. Post-war brutalism and minimalism are having a hard time. My taste is diverse, I can appreciate things of various styles so long as it seems to be some fair quality to me. But as I'm used to saying now, French post-modernism is causing a little harm to the art of design over Paris in my opinion. Here's an example of what I really don't like seeing too much over here, in Issy-les-Moulineaux.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-haussmann.jpg http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issy-les-Moulineaux Bad bad taste. Kind of stuff that tried to mimic the local traditional fabric, but in cheaper materials. I give it zero chance to age well. It's a waste of room to me, amongst the worst things developed at the moment. |
^While I'm not a fan of imitating older styles, I don't find that building terribly ugly.

There's this one.... It's my opinion that it's the ugliest, stupidest looking builing on the planet.

Agreed. Wholly mother of gawd, that is absolutely wretched. |
It's certainly hard to understand what design principles were in play.
