The windows I hate the most are rounded squares.

This building, Prentice Hospital in Chicago, completely struck me when I found out it was in USA. It's so horrible. I thought it was in Ukraine or China at first, but...wow.

Aesthetics are only one measure of a building. The building in question is the Prentice Hospital, designed by Bertrand Goldberg, and famed for its innovative construction.

The round windows in question serve a purpose. The concrete pouring was in-situ, the exterior concrete shell is load-bearing, and the round windows helped both the efficiency of construction, and the efficiency of the final structure.

That structure should at least be three times as high as it is now. Now it it just an ugly concrete knob, while it could be an impressive brutalist tower.

Agreed

Well, considering that just one guy built that entire structure, I don't find it too bad.

Kanto · August 3rd, 2012, 11:09 PM

How is that hideous building called?

ThatOneGuy · August 4th, 2012, 12:00 AM

It has no name. One man built it by himself. It's his house.

Kiboko · August 4th, 2012, 12:30 PM

That house is surely hideous, but i like to see more of those developments. It is a cool thing to design your own house with the help your own imagination. So you will get the purest design without any involvement of pedantic architects.

So 8 floor-Buildings are skyscrapers now?

Just again guys: don't post anything here just because it may be ugly.

It's a sex toy! :o

Possibly the ugliest building in Ecuador.

Kanto · August 5th, 2012, 06:46 PM

The random windows on the left side are disgusting but without them it would look quite good

Highcliff · August 5th, 2012, 08:07 PM

Yes....only these windows on the yellow wall are ugly....the rest is ok...
