Dont you think?

The fish building...


The Indian National Fisheries Development Board needed a new building for their offices. The architect presented them a fish building (Fisheries - Fish! Obvious!). And then, when you think that nothing can get worse...


...here comes the final result!

King Kong knocked down the Empire State!


If you take a closer look at the sign, it says: "Ripley's Believe it or not! Museum" and believe it or not, this IS in fact a Museum!

The floating desert island!





The same group that brought us the Monaco-Shaped yacht, now presents the Floating Desert Island! Some billionaire eccentric with doubtful exquisite taste will have the opportunity to get lost at sea in his/her own $250M  private island! How stupid is that?

Today we present North Korea's pride and joy, the Ryugyong Hotel, also known as "The Hotel of Doom!" We dare you to find an uglier building than this one!

The Phallic Rocket

The Phallic Rocket - ugly architecture - you are not an architect

Here's a concept design to a "floating" tower in Dubai.
We can't understand why it has to be so ridiculous and ugly... we whish this kind of "Phallic Rocket" just take of to the outer space.

That big and hard... Washington Monument!







The interaction between architecture and it's users is not always the most obvious... Here's an interesting set of pics to explain that.
