Eyesore of the Month Ping
Looks like my garden hose after I accidentally mowed over it
Trying to decide what is uglier, this or a similar-sized Brutalist structure?
I’ll call it a tie. Which is quite damning for this monstrosity.
A few weeks ago I recall that Trump said he wanted to return to having beautiful architecture. I understand that he was referring to federal buildings, but when I saw this, what he said came to mind.
What were they THINKING? An embarrassment.
It’s one building but is a part of the overall corruption of the country - art, architecture, science, education, entertainment, family.
“It’s a cancer research center, designed by HDR Architects, Omaha.”
Well it certainly looks like a tumor.

The Sponge Bob Building
It amazes me how they want us to celebrate their ostentatiousness while disease burdens skyrocket. My father told me as a young child “insurance is a scam, but health insurance is the ultimate scam.”
Reminds me of the Obama Presidential Temple ... I mean Presidential library.
No wonder aliens keep crashing on the planet! They get distracted by awful architecture!
A new contender for the most hideous building in Minnesota. I thought nothing could top the Brutalist eyesore that is the Abby chapel at St. John’s University, but this Mayo Clinic building is uniquely hideous.
Donors should be pleased that several million dollars were diverted from research and care for squandering on the architect’s bubble-wrap gimmick. A large portion of the world’s stockpile of bs was no doubt deployed to justify this.
Anyone contributing a 11-story building to the Mayo Clinic has a whole lot of flexibility in the architecture of the building. As a dozen year survivor of cancer because of treatment by the Mayi Clinic, you can rest assured that the perception on this site of the architecture in the buildings is of no consideration to me whenever I’m there.
