3. Renmin Ribao Building in Beijing
The People’s Daily Newspaper’s headquarters in Beijing, China has long been the butt of a joke of many people – even the locals! No wonder, the building is shaped just like a penis which caused an uproar. Thankfully the communist newspaper listened and decided to sheath it and build a new one from the ground up.
4. Frank Gehry’s Australian Blunder
This building is known as Frank Gehry’s first architectural project; made of tons of custom designed bricks to make it look like a treehouse, unfortunately it ended up looking like a building that had just been hit by a gigantic wrecking ball.
5. The Elephant Building in Bangkok
Elephant is Thailand’s national animal so it’s a no brainer that an elephant also has to be solidified in the form of a building right? This 32 story building may look great on paper, but in reality it looks unpleasant. Ah well, at least it fits a whole lot of offices, language school, and condos.
6. Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, Scotland
Inspired by one of Henry Raeburn’s painting masterpieces, this building ends up looking odd and too much with its decorative ornaments. Not only does it look weird, it ends up taking $16 million out of the Scottish taxpayers as the ornaments keep falling off and have to be repaired.
7. Mirador Building in Madrid, Spain
MVRDV, one of the most popular architecture firm in the world, has long been known for its imaginative and futuristic innovation. However, this Mirador building that is made by MVRDV and also Blanca Lleo has no artistic value, nor does it have an aesthetic value. The assymetry that it showcases makes it look jumbled instead of looking distinctive in a good way.
8. National Library in Pristina, Kosovo
This national library is a proof that adding every attractive looking element you’ve come across to your building doesn’t guarantee you an attractive result. A combination of Islamic architectural with modern sensibility and a Byzantine touch here is a huge miss.
