So far, NK zombie tower is by far the most elegant building here. I so wish they'll fix it whenever DPRK crumbles.

The roof on that reminds me of a miniaturized version of the Denver airport terminal, but, uh, way smaller.Originally posted by Koyaanisqatsi

It's full of cheap frills and faux-elegance. But of course, if you got traits like that with a centuries old building, people consider it a monument.Speaking of Erith:

Doesn't look that bad. A bit spacey perhaps but otherwise not displeasing.
It is the buildings on both sides that look blah.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

None of these are that bad. If I'm ever in the country side here again, I'll take some photos of the multistoried apartment houses that line many of the highways. The sad part is that these buildings are not that old and are still being built in this hideous style.

a lot of the bad architecture mid to late last century was inspired by futuristic space travel visionsI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I don't know whether this freakshow near my hometown is genius or the ugliest office building in the world.
