Now and then, we grab the opportunity to praise architects who consistently outdo themselves and surprise us with their marvelous creations. Because designing impressive and remarkable structures that leave everyone in awe is far from an easy task. It requires years of hard work, dedication, and understanding of seemingly endless aspects of human life. But far too often, we stumble upon places that tell us one universal truth — some pieces of architecture are utter disasters.

Here’s where ‘The World’s Ugliest Buildings’ Twitter account comes in. This social media project is dedicated to pictures of some of the most visually displeasing architectural examples globally. It shares the worst of the bunch. They leave an impression even when they are the most unattractive fiascos ever discovered.

For your entertainment, the Twitter account in question has been documenting terrible building examples ever since it was created in 2020. As the creator writes in the description, this social media account is a virtual gallery of some of the ugliest buildings worldwide, from China to Belgium to the United States. And they certainly deliver.
Moreover, each photo has a caption with the location of the building, and some offer more information like its name, construction date, and architect. So if some of these pictures left you scratching your head and wondering, “What on earth were these people thinking!” this makes it much easier for you to look them up.

We at A&D have gathered some of the most memorable pictures from the page to share with you all. Be sure to hit upvote as you go, and let us know which of these places you’d love to see IRL in the comments! So sit back, buckle up, and get ready to go down the rabbit hole of architectural hiccups.
