View Full Version : Ugliest Buildings in Singapore firdhaus April 25th, 2006, 03:56 AM Hi Guys Would love to hear your views and even pictures of the ugliest's buildings in Singapore. Cheers Kit April 25th, 2006, 06:27 AM The Esplanade for not showing sensitivity to its context and users. Infineon bldg for be just plain butt ugly. Nafa campus for being extremely boring (this is actually an art school for crying out loud). My neighbour's house. Cliff April 25th, 2006, 02:20 PM Euroasia building :) Pengui April 25th, 2006, 05:16 PM Hilton Hotel gets my vote. For the more modern ones, I dislike very much One George Street, but I sort of got used to it (at least it's pedestrian-friendly). firdhaus April 26th, 2006, 03:39 PM Hello guyzz, lets focus on the real ugliest buildings. Something that everyone can agree one. Any suggestions anyone? :-) Kit April 26th, 2006, 04:00 PM Hello guyzz, lets focus on the real ugliest buildings. Something that everyone can agree one. Any suggestions anyone? :-) What's the point?? Architecture is subjective. What fun would there be if everybody agrees?? Charging Bull April 26th, 2006, 04:04 PM Afro Asia Buidling :- Like a old & fat woman in white blocking the street PJCCUK April 27th, 2006, 04:05 AM i love esplanade! To me that represents modern singapore, it's perfect for the culture here. Durian fruit design, what's more perfect?! The ugliest building has to be that building right behind HSBC. I hate that, looks like a 1960s car-park from Birmingham. HSBC isn't that great either, they should have carried on the cladding that they did at the base and finished the entire building. Quite a lot of buildings along Shenton way I don't like, but every two months I read that they're being redeveloped, like the office building that the owners of the sail are redoing into a new condo development. My home, the Jade at Bukit Batok is ugly too, but nice inside :D ymca building, near SMU campus is awful. our High Commission (British one) is awful too. Funan area, peninsula hotel etc, AWFUL. And the greatest, most ugly thing ever to be constructed, the new supreme court!!!!!!!!!! .... I'm ashamed that a fellow countryman gave singapore this! :doh: PJCCUK April 27th, 2006, 04:09 AM wait a minute ... it seems Britain has given singapore it's most beautiful buildings ... nearly every colonial building .... and its ugliest ones too! HA ... unconscious revenge for your independence maybe .. J/K! Kit April 27th, 2006, 09:13 AM And the greatest, most ugly thing ever to be constructed, the new supreme court!!!!!!!!!! .... I'm ashamed that a fellow countryman gave singapore this! :doh: Don't be too quick to condemn him yet. I was told that it has come to a stage that he refuses to acknowledge his design. Couldn't blame him, who would acknowledge that?? I wouldn't. Kit April 27th, 2006, 09:15 AM i love esplanade! To me that represents modern singapore, it's perfect for the culture here. Durian fruit design, what's more perfect?! Durian is an after thought. If it was part of the design concept, I'll shoot Michael Wilford myself..... Mr.ASAP April 27th, 2006, 01:20 PM Ritz Carlton Hotel..... dont know why but i find the design plain boring....the artium level is alright, plenty of full height glass exposing itself, but the overall block itself....is !??! Pengui April 27th, 2006, 04:20 PM @PJCCUK: oh, yes, that building behind HSBC really is an eyesore... It's called the Straits Trading Building. And Peninsula Hotel is another awful piece of crap, yup, in fact those two are quite worse than Hilton Hotel, that's a feat for sure ^ ^ kenmin April 29th, 2006, 08:57 AM The newest building of HCJC. Cliff April 29th, 2006, 11:42 AM Whats HCJC? I actually like the lift shaft area of Supreme court:) Mr.ASAP April 29th, 2006, 05:29 PM Whats HCJC? no idea ....all i can think of is Hwa Chong JC ? Cliff April 30th, 2006, 07:02 AM Hmmm... sounds right, okay:D ^tamago^ May 8th, 2006, 02:37 AM The newest building of HCJC.yeah. and it's very stuffy there.... and the roof, i wonder if it's still leaking into the auditorium on rainy days.... JoSin May 8th, 2006, 11:02 AM ^^ Hahaz. Anyway Singapore really should have some building that is really uniquely ours other than the two durians. Finally we have the Sail. Hope BFC will bring some interesting designs.. Cliff May 8th, 2006, 03:28 PM I have a feeling the Sail will look nothing like the renderings, lol. RafflesCity May 9th, 2006, 03:49 PM ^^ Hahaz. Anyway Singapore really should have some building that is really uniquely ours other than the two durians. Finally we have the Sail. Hope BFC will bring some interesting designs.. I hope there can be more variation in the BFC design than to have it lik Suntec City, with 4 blocks of identical design and height. Singapore definitely has some very unique buildings, especially the shophouses. hyacinthus June 9th, 2006, 05:13 PM Whether it's ugliest or ugly buildings, they are ugly. So, it might be good to merge the threads... like this one with this http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=157445&goto=lastpost too many similar threads in the main forum. shao_ye June 10th, 2006, 12:59 PM http://www.flickr.com/photos/babykailan/142748406/ what are those buildings below? they look kinda cool and poky... Pengui June 10th, 2006, 01:47 PM They are a residential development which can be seen from River Valley Road. Is the comment correct ? This is going to be redeveloped ? RafflesCity June 10th, 2006, 02:51 PM ooh....I think I've seen them from some pics before wow...it looks cool in that angle! not ugly at all |
