A largely critized scraper in Tijuana, MX... 17-storey high... for many, the ugliest...

Just checked the thread (most of it) for the first time.
Obviously I am quite tolerant about architecture styles - I don't consider half of the shown structures to be ugly.

But there is one (M2 in Tokyo) that really made me feel sick.
Here is a bigger version (view at own risk!):

What I spacially hate about this building: the pillars where it stands on...

So never combine humour with architecture. You get something childish.

Sorry but I think that Ghery's building is great because it's a kind of research how you can make deconstructive designs. Architecture is a serious thing but I think that there is a place for buildings which are funny and serious (from a point of architecture) in the same time.

That is ofcourse my opinion...

Apart from individual ugly skyscrapers, there's also this tendency to put a whole bunch of them together:

(There are like four of these in a row.)

to me, nothing is more ugly than the Riverside plaza public housing project skyscrapers in Minneapolis:

j0zef84 · June 22nd, 2009, 06:27 PM

This one in my opinion is absolutely one the ugliest skyscrapers built in the last years....
