What makes it even more bizarre is the setting...a stones throw away from the ocean, and none of the surrounding edifices even come close to matching it.
What the hell is that? it looks like a giant pile of garbage.
Yeah, the State of Illinois building is pretty frigging ugly.
The new glass facade should make it extra exciting when it starts to fall apart. Hopefully by that time they will have cordoned off the area around it, to prevent decapitations and severed limbs from all that falling glass. Of course, this is North Korea, so they probably won’t bother to warn pedestrians to avoid the area.
Is this the one the guys went in with small cameras that had video capability? The one where they showed the kids putting on the giant show in the underground fortress and where they played ping-pong with a hostess at an otherwise empty travel rest stop on a completely empty highway?
I strongly recommend watching, even though after I posted the link I am having trouble finding links to all the episodes. There are 14 episodes to the whole thing. I think you can search on youtube for each episode individually.
The name “Experience Music Project” speaks volumes for liberal Seattle.
That looks like the Jolly Green Giant’s cucumber.
Now the second most ugly building - replacing itself ...
I’m thinking ... those are more than just really large windows up there on the four sides of that tower; think antennas, microwave dishes, maybe even RADAR operated from behind the RF-transparent panels up there. The pictures I see on the web don’t seem to show the ‘drapes’ ever being open either.

I flew into London passing close by that building with the morning sun hitting it. It reminded me of a Christmas ornament.
That looks like a semi full of hog carcasses sideswiped a toxic waste dumpster before crashing into a Moroccan house of ill-repute.
After the fire went out, someone saw fit to install a satellite dish atop the wreckage.

THE U.S. MISSION MAY BE SEVEN STORIES HIGH, BUT THE SOVIET EMBASSY, OOPS, I MEAN RUSSIAN EMBASSY COMPOUND IS A FEW MILES WEST OF THE CENTER OF HAVANA.
ITS ABOUT 25 STORIES HIGH, AND WERE PRETTY SURE THAT THEY HAVE GOOD ACCESS TO THE COMMUNICATIONS OF THE U.S. NAVAL BASE AT KEY WEST.
THEIR STAFFERS ALL LIVE ON THE EMBASSY COMPOUND, AS OPPOSED TO THE YANKS AND THE BRITS WHO ARE DISPERSED
THROUGHOUT WEST HAVANA AND LIVE WITH THE CUBANS.
AMERICANS ARE OUT AND ABOUT, MIXING WITH THE CUBANS EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT. RUSSIANS ARE RARELY SEEN ON THE STREETS AROUND THEIR EMBASSY.

(You do know) that is a ‘play’ (stage/acting) set for a theater presentation ...
Yes

I was about to post that. I always thought Boston City Hall looked like someone had dropped a pyramid from the sky, upside down.
