mgbinspect Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 I'm thinking I probably have this one in the bag, but one just never knows Click to Enlarge 37.56 KB: This Jetsons style office building is out of the sixties. Sadly, it's design has nothing to do with the perceived future at the time: Click to Enlarge 61.8 KB One web site does actually have it listed as number nine of the ten ugliest buildings in America. I've been meaning to photograph it for a long time. Today, while having a flowmaster muffler put on my Ranger to increase gas mileage, the architectural wonder was just across the parking lot from me, so I finally snapped it. I wonder if the investor and architect were thinking: "If you build it, they will come." ...? It almost hurts to look at it. [:-weepn]
kurt Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah, buildings that are inspired by baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil are probably starting out with a lot of strikes against them.
mgbinspect Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah, buildings that are inspired by baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil are probably starting out with a lot of strikes against them. Actually, if it is really inspired by a baked potato, I wonder if it is an unfinished project and they decided not to finish the potato? []
hausdok Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 I've always considered Paul Allen's Experience Music Project museum in Seattle to be the ugliest building on the planet. OT - OF!!! M.
