, for sure. It always looked like a giant rusty piece of metal being shoved into a normal building to me.

The Hotel Uzbekistan needs to be the backdrop for my band's music video.

The Hotel Uzbekistan is kind of cool to me. Here is what I think the international inspirations are.

Port Authority Bus Terminal: New York


This Tacky Castle which got nominated as ugliest building in China a while back




So ugly clockzilla fought it: Mecca


Venetians Malaysian Brother.

Zen Condos in Edmonton deserves a spot on this list. A horribly bulky to half with bland colours complete with a mismatched brick podium. What a mess.

Does every city have a shitty condo named Zen?

Here's one from Calgary:

Note the horrid gravel and bark mulch landscaping that has weathered and turned into this pile of shit:

^For a suburban townhouse that's honestly not too bad, but the choice of gravel landscaping is baffling, to say the least. The standard Calgary dirt laneway doesn't help, either (complete with likely immobile parked van!): https://goo.gl/maps/PgGPmz7MNj12

Toronto's Zen isn't horribly ugly, but it is aggressively mediocre:
http://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/zen-king-west

Sadly one of the better projects in the area, too.

Yeah I didn’t think Zen King West was terrible either, just bland. Although if it was a twin tower complex it would be much worse.

I guess I should have sent a warning. If I knew how to embed an image I'm sure there would be more complaints

Honestlet Vaughan is on the level of Laval. I’m surprised it doesn’t have its own clockzilla.
