De Inktpot building, 'Ink pot' in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Built in 1921, This building serves as the headoffice for the national railway company, and is still the largest brick building in the country.
With recent refurbishments an UFO is placed on the roof as an artpiece, in my opinion completely ruining the monumental look of the building.
