The "Green Mansion" of Green Man Brewing in downtown Asheville:

I detest this building, primarily because it looks like the builders accidentally used drawings made by the architect's five-year-old son rather than those the architect himself drew up. No harmony of materials, no harmony of space or massing, random-ass window placement, shitty fake cornice, and that thing on the side that looks like an ambulance bay... which is only appropriate though, because they tore down an historic African-American hospital to build this eyesore. Plus, let's not forget that luscious moat of parking. This building is shit, and considering that this is a city which daily endures the presence of the
US Cellular Center, not to mention
a glut of
ugly hotels cheaply constructed in the acclaimed
Charlotte Boring style of architecture, that's saying
a lot.
