The Worst Building in the History of Mankind

I don’t think it’s as ugly as the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral, aka, the raj mahoney.

[Texas Eagle]

Heh, heh. I know.

Maybe my post should've read, "Oops. Leebah?"

But I didn't want to sound racist.

[ashtanga]

The Clinton double wide? I don’t see any wheels....

[Antoninus]

Not so bad, actually. Our Lady of the Angels cathedral in LA has it beat by a country mile. And Boston City Hall, too.

[Army Air Corps]

Gotcha. ;-)

[MarineBrat]

It would be a good place to relocate UN Headquarters.

You, sir are pure genius! ROFL! Oh please! Oh please!

[Axenolith]

By any metric known (suck, lamness, eyesore) the building linked below makes that N. Korean atrocity seem like the Parthenon.

Behold the

National Library of the Czech Republic in Prague

BTW, the rest of the previous are a riot with Kunstlers commentary...

[VRWC For Truth]

The mother ship, the mother ship.

LOL. I’m about 30 miles from the Space Needle. It’s nice to hear someone “needle” it.

[Army Air Corps]

Someone dropped a LOT of acid...

[stormer]

Let's compare, Texas Eagle...

Gee, I'm not sure...

[L.N. Smithee]

But it's still not as bad as The Space Needle.

Say what? The Space Needle's cool.

I am a lifelong San Francisco native, and have seen the Golden Gate Bridge almost every day for over forty years. It's supposedly the most photographed man-made structure in the world.

I don't get it. It's ok. But it's not THAT big of a deal. Is it because it's red?*
--------
*Actually, the official name of the color of the rust-resistant paint on the GG Bridge is "International Orange." But it's red.

[ozzymandus]

Great idea, but you know who would end up paying for a complete rebuild of the damn thing. Might be worth it just to get rid of the “diplomats”, though!

[Kirkwood]

UFO identified?

[Texas Eagle]

At least the people in Seattle put a beautiful mountain in their backdrop.

And got rid of that hideous Kingdome thing.

[Texas Eagle]

I used to live about 30 miles south of the Space Needle. We had our own architectural monstrosity called the Tacoma Dome.

[piasa]

They look an awful lot like minarets to me... stick some speakers at the top and pop in a cd of your favorite call to prayer and you’re good to go. If Seattle has another riot it’ll look just like Beirut.

[Ditto]

Not sure they beat this one for pure 'ugly.'

[SevenofNine]

OH Monk that is funny LOLOLOL!
