    Default Ugly-chic or just ugly AF buildings




    I like it when buildings expand like skin diseases.

    The same with the real (although demolished now) Kowloon walled city.

    Feel free to post your own ugly buildings, whether they are cool or just disgusting.

    This is a great thread idea. I'm a big fan of that visual style too so I'll see if I can't hunt down any images like that myself.

    The ugliest church in Norway was recently voted on and declared.

    Is it bad that I kind of actually like that church design, Vatter?

    That library looks extremely babylonian.

    That high rise tower in the OP isn't real

    Also the house of Soviets in Kaliningrad is really cool.

    Are we really going to call ancient ruins ugly-chic now?

    The added issue is that if it is ancient, it can't be turkish either, so not a good follow-up to Abdul's trolling

    Anyway, here is an elephant-house, in Lagos:

    I mean, the simplicity of this monstrosity makes it even more moronic.. from a famous architect, Fuksas it is so badly designed that they could not manage to heat it and it gone unused for a long while..

    Wow I had a hard time even making sense of that things size and scale until I saw the doors at the very bottom. That's just awful.

    I think you're the first one to call a borg cube "nice looking"

    It would be nice if you guys would also give the locations of the buildings, that is the city/region they are located.
