I was only referring to the cylindrical part of those towers.

Matsky · November 21st, 2012, 07:23 PM

But anyway you're right...Looks really masculine xD

Looks like the Human Centipede of the building world. ....

L.A.F.2. · November 22nd, 2012, 06:07 AM

It's actually rather adorable.

It looks like a Stormtrooper.

Here's a link to a Telegraph listing & fotos of what it considers the 21 ugliest bldgs in the world:

I actually like the round bldg in Abu Dhabi. But the bloated udder bldg in Graz, Austria, isn't on there!

This nightmare in Kosovo, their national Library, is #3. I can only guess that the architect's family or in-laws got the contract for those geodesic cupola-domes.

LOL, our inverted pyramid radio building is there too. I completely agree with the article, it really is ugly as hell

I think it's a beautiful building, kind of "Buck Rogers" style tower. Better than another shoe box from the 60's and 70's with the AC unit on its roof.

L.A.F.2. · November 23rd, 2012, 04:40 PM

That one is pretty bad. I'd rather have a box with good cladding than that thing.

Nice thred, I think is time for me to share some of the sky crappers I've found. I don't know if they've been posted already. : It's the Beijing's new Phoenix International Media Centre. Which reminds me a bit of this: -

I always thought the inverted pyramid was kinda cool, but if only it didn't have the top mechanical part.

But still, I don't know anything that can beat the thing in Graz!

Actually, I like that. It reminds me more of one of those bean-bag cushions.

@ThatOneGuy, yes the Graz udder takes the cake. I don't how they were able to get 'aye' votes for that and a permit to build, no less.

I'm sure we all know it. Absolutely hideous, and putting it slap bang in the middle of nowhere doesn't help the case.

ThatOneGuy · November 23rd, 2012, 10:54 PM

Would have looked okay without that godawful yellow ball.
