“Dubious” Architecture, 16 People Shared The Most Absurd Structures They Have Seen.
Some buildings have been designed by true champions of architecture: despite their unconventional character, they fascinate us with their incredible design and functionality. However, there are buildings that, although they are original and stand out for their diversity, are far from functional; indeed, they have been described as “shameful”, “embarrassing”, “foolish” and “in bad taste”. There is even a Facebook group where users have fun sharing the most extravagant designs., in the negative sense of the term, that they have had a good fortune (or bad luck?) to see. There are buildings in the shape of a dog or an elephant, of doubtful comfort; there are buildings with misaligned windows, with fire escape stairs that seem to fall down and are totally unnecessary, with doors instead of windows: there is everything and, thanks to 16 people who shared these examples of architecture shameful, we can get a glimpse of what the ingenuity – sometimes unsuccessful – of the builders can give.

The windows are covered by this wall which partially covers the building: whoever took the photo understood that this aesthetically pleasing design is not at all functional.
#2. “My eyes are in pain”.

And indeed, this house was built without following any logic.

#5. The building does not seem to be happy.

How will the pieces be organized in there?
