When you have workers who don't care for what they're building, and architects with very little common sense, then you'd better not panic when you see results. Mournful cries like "Oh No!", "You've ruined it!", "Can it possibly be rebuilt??" are not going to help, while a simple "Oops!" would also sound like a gross understatement. In many cases the architectural horrors shown on this page were left "as is", without any fixes. The tenants and businesses moved into these structures, leaving passerbyes and photographers to marvel at their idiotic construction.
First let's get an obvious Photoshop job out of the way - the builders may have finally build something out of Escher's bad dream:

Stairs into nothing - a classic blunder:

If builders had a little more to drink, the stairs might've turned into a modern art sculpture ("Revolutions", located in Montreal):

Situation with doors is just as dire. They would not open, lead anywhere, or even exist...

Especially when the slogan above the door reads "Have a Successful Working Day!"

or "Sales Center", apparently with a very poor sales record:
