30 Times People Spotted Terrible Architecture, And Just Had To Share It With The World

Published 4 years ago

Anyone can design a concrete box with some windows and call it a building – but it takes a skilled and talented architect to design something that everyone would appreciate even decades after it was built. However, it takes an equally terrible architect to design something that would be universally hated by everyone. And no, today’s post is not about the good ones.

People are sharing photos of the most terrible architecture they’ve come across to the That’s It, I’m Architecture Shaming Facebook group, and you’ll be surprised how badly some architects managed to mess up. From bizarrely placed windows to buildings that look like they’re watching you, check out some of the weirdest examples of architecture shared to this Facebook group in the gallery below!

Aušrys Uptas

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
