The Ugly Buildings Thread

[The Lawspeaker]

Another hideous example would a apartment block in The Hague: de Zwarte Madonna (Black Madonna).

Completed in 1985 it became notorious throughout the city and was torn down in 2008. It will be replaced by two tower blocks that will be used by the Ministeries of Domestic Affairs and Justice.

Most of the university buildings are the old original ones from the late 1880's, but we do have a number of more recent monstrosities such as this one

The DVLA building, Swansea. This one is near me, it was built on a hill so that it can be seen for about 20 miles in every direction.

As for supermarkets. Hundreds of groceries all over a big city would suffice.

Supermarkets are more efficient then the tiny groceries. We have plenty of small stores as well in America;

Every large American city has hundreds of these convience stores.

The problem with the large strip malls is that there are so many of them. Cities are always after more retail sales tax revenue & are quick to approve developement of more shopping centers, at the expense of the slumming of existing shopping centers. Small towns, large cities, they all have run down shopping centers with plenty of vacancies. The US tax code also plays into this by allowing the depreciation in the value of the depressed real estate to written off as a deduction for the companies that own this real estate.

LOL. Come on, Æmeric..."Circle K" is a 'small store'...? - This is a Branded, ubiquitous, and franchised intra-national chain. You haven't fallen for the illusion of choice in America have you...?

...designed by a Jewish architect () and funded by a mixed Chinese and Negro billionaire ().

Here, here.

Why is it that all Modern Architecture and Art must be so obderantly obtrusive: as if to say: "LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE!!!!! LOOK AT MEEEEEE! - I'm here, TOO!!!!!!!!! Forget what I am attached to! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"

I can choose between the Circle K, 7/11 & the Quickiemart, among many other branded stores . These are the contemporary corner stores in America. And I mean they are on every corner not occupied by a Wal-Mart or other regional/national grocery chain. Franchising is just as responsible for the look-alike-appearance of most of America today as much as Wal-Mart, Target , Kroger & other large corporate owned stores.

Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh

masked jewish letters to mark the place like animals are use to do?

Not "in my city", but close enough; this monstrosity that was added to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. It was designed by a Jewish architect () and funded by a mixed Chinese and Negro billionaire ().

It's called deconstructivism and many of his supporting architects are jews , they have destroyed almost every major metropolitan area in the enitire West with that hideous style , they dared to ruin Prague too...




in my town there's an infamous commieblock called Melara located in the hilly outskirt , thanx God it's the only one they built.

Tony, I quite like this one - slightly reminiscent of Barcelona.
