As far as ugly architecture goes, that Boston City Hall is not even in the top 100.






Pretty much anything by Libeskind or Gehry are abominations.

I truly wonder how this is on the inside. Is it like that re-tarded house that has no flat surfaces in it in Cannes?

People want to tour it, but it's so dysfunctional as a living space nobody wants to buy it. Though I could've sworn there was a worse one in California, because this one has flat floors. I remember there being a house for wealthy idiots that had no flat surfaces at all.

This is legitimately bad architecture, having neither aesthetic or functional qualities. The floor plans must have a ton of wasted space.

I've seen stuff written by people who have had to work in those styles of building, and your not wrong. In addition they usually have a lot of heating and cooling issues, and outlets for power etc are major issues since the architects usually put form WAY over functionality.

Ah, the Tour Montparnasse, a building so ugly and such an eyesore on the land the French government literally invented new laws to make sure it could never happen again. Voted second-ugliest building in the world in 2011.

It's an incredibly bad incarnation of Brutalism. It lacks the actually good features of the style and emphasizes the terrible ones. Also instead of excluding useless features, it has these utterly pointless flying buttresses (or whatever the fuck those are) that serve no purpose and, literally because of their uselessness, are also intensely ugly.

Post-modernism is fucking gross, they all look like prisons. We should knock them down and build something new.

Brutalism isn't post-modern, it's modern. Post-modernism was at least in part a response against shit like Brutalism.

Look at that amazing, fantastic, gorgeous view! I know, let's plop down some diseased pus-pod warts on top of that! Brilliant!

Scottish Parliament Fucking Kill Me

What kind of diseased mind could think of such a ....

Enric Miralles, the Spanish architect who designed the building, died before its completion. Enric Miralles died at the age of 45 as the result of a brain tumor.

It's sad too, the old Boston City Hall had so much history and was honestly a beautiful building. At least it's still in use (as a steakhouse).

And to add insult to injury it's like 500 feet away from the commieblock monstrosity.
