15: Strata SE1 in Elephant & Castle, London. Designed by BFLS and completed in 2010.
10: The SIS Building in Vauxhall, London, also known as the MI6 Building. The headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service was designed by Terry Farrell and opened in 1994.
You know, you take away the contemporary color scheme of the Vail resort, it's not a whole lot different than the Quad Cities place. It'll be an eyesore in 15 years.

Man if that is your town's ugliest building then congrats. I kind of like it!
Well, there might be some (many) that are worse but this is the structure that's most proud of it's ugliness........But, there are a few around here that also like it so you're not alone.
The problem with that building is context. Context is a huge piece of architecture and Illinois, right of an interstate doesn't exactly make me thing of small town Bavaria... not enough mountains.
