Not to mention the extremely wasteful expenses.

The building has more than 1 100 rooms, 12 floors and several underground floors. Undoubtedly, this building is impressive, but unfortunately, the historic center of Bucharest, including 30,000 houses and 28 churches, has to make way for this building.

4. Zizkov TV Tower

Prague

Chichikov TV Tower, Czech Republic

Information photos of Zizkov TV Tower.

The problem with 2 16-meter-high towers is that they are easily noticed. At that time, you might wonder why the architect in charge of designing a giant skyscraper in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe didn't design anything better than this replica of the space shuttle launch.

The problem with this 2 16-meter-high TV tower is that it has not been widely concerned. You will wonder why the designer was entrusted with the task of designing such a giant launch tower in this city with the most unique scenery in Europe, but only created such a building similar to the space shuttle launch tower.

5. Experience music projects

Seattle

Seattle Experience Music Museum, USA

It is said that the architect has incorporated the chaotic state of "messy fender guitar" into his design. In fact, his astronomical expenses led to something more like Technicolor's open-heart surgery, which is not good news for paul allen, the founder of the project.

I'm afraid the architect has integrated the disordered concept of "broken Fanta guitar" into the design. The designer spent a lot of money to design this building, and its structure is similar to heart surgery. The initiator of the construction project, Microsoft billionaire Paul? Allen, this doesn't sound like music.

Fact: jimi hendrix.

Outstanding Seattle people

Inspired the name and design of the museum. An avid consumer of LSD.

Guitarists may appreciate Gary's design more than modern audiences.

Fact: Jimmy? Hendricks, an outstanding Seattle native, inspired the naming and design of this museum. Jimmy. Hendricks used a lot of * * *, and this guitarist may like Gary's architectural design better than modern audiences.

6. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

Hanoi

Vietnam Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Vietnam

The structure itself is obviously to evoke Vietnamese traditions, including a munal house and a lotus flower (how O can be combined in a building is not clear).

7. Metropolitan Cathedral

Liverpool

Liverpool Cathedral in England

Archives photos of the Metropolitan Cathedral.

Far from the heavenly tranquility of imagination.

This church is more like a huge concrete tent.

Therefore, it has a local nickname "Paddy's shack" (Paddy is a derogatory term for Irish Catholics).

This church is not like the resting place of the gods at all, but rather like a huge concrete tent, so the locals nicknamed it "Paddy's shack" (Paddy is a joke of Irish Catholics).

The cathedral project was unlucky from the beginning. Design factors of Sir Edwin Lutyens and Adrian Gilbert Scott

In the former case.

It's too expensive

In the latter case.

Not good enough. The task finally fell to Sir Frederick Gibbard, whose finished product has been preserved to this day.

This church building was unlucky from the beginning. This church was originally built by Edwin? Sir Tharns and Aidan? Gilbert? Scott designed it. Because the former design was too expensive and the latter design was not good enough, the design scheme was rejected. The design task finally fell to Frederick? Guibert, he designed the church today.

Fact: Did the Cathedral authorities sue Gilbert? 65,438+300,000 pounds (US$ 2 million), when the aluminum roof began to leak and the mosaic tiles were defective. Strangely, they seem to be satisfied with the actual design of the building.

Fact: When the aluminum roof of the church began to leak and the mosaic tiles went wrong, the church sued Guibert for 6,543,800+3,000 pounds (US$ 2 million). Strangely, they seem to be satisfied with the design of the building.

8. Portland Building

Admittedly, the1980s was a decade of crazy taste, so I decided to start wearing patterned sweaters and shoulder pads. however

This still doesn't explain why the judges supported Michael Graves's new municipal building in Oregon.

As we all know, the 1980s was a decade when people's tastes became crazy. People began to wear fancy sweaters and shoulder pads. But that still doesn't explain why Michelle. Graves will design this civil building in Oregon, USA.

9. Fiona Fang Building

Shenyang

Like most buildings on our list

This kind of effort is different, if not outstanding. Cy Lee, an architect-his Taipei10/KLOC-0 skyscraper designed in Taiwan Province is much better-wants to integrate different cultures by integrating an ancient Chinese coin.

Equipped with a square cut

Modern office building.

Like most of the buildings we listed, the design of this building is also very distinctive, but it is not outstanding. Its designer is CY Li, and the Taipei 10 1 building designed by CY Li is much better. Designers hope to achieve the goal of cultural integration through the combination of ancient Chinese coins and modern office buildings.

10. Petrobras headquarters

Rio de Janeiro

Petrobras headquarters

File photo of the headquarters of Petrobras.

To some extent, you have to admire the boldness of Petrobras. after all

Not every leading multinational company (energy company is the largest in Latin America) will choose to set its exhibition headquarters in such a terrible building.

You must admire the courage of Petrobras. After all, Petrobras is not a leading multinational company (this energy company is the largest in Latin America), and the company chose to set its headquarters as a model in such an ugly building.

Fact: The building is at least intact. Its next-door neighbor is Rio de Janeiro cathedral.

An equally controversial (ugly to read) example of concrete Brutali.

Fact: At least, there is a building next to this building. Next to the building is Rio de Janeiro Cathedral, which is also a typical controversial rough concrete building.
