I don't know what all of my least favorite skyscrapers are (as I mentioned in an earlier post though, the LDS Church Office Building is hideous and worthy of being on this list), but my absolute least favorite skyscraper in history is the Aon Center in Chicago.

It's simply one of the most unimaginative building designs I have ever seen. To make it even worse, its height just dominates over everything around it. I could tolerate it if it was shorter and therefore generally blended in with the rest of the Chicago skyline, but it just sticks out there. Yuck.

I also strongly dislike pretty much every skyscraper made by Minoru Yamasaki. They're all just copy-cats of the original World Trade Center (or the WTC is copycats of them, either way they all look the same). Sorry but I just find his designs so bland, and that includes the original WTC (as iconic as they were, architecturally I found them ugly).
