Looks like an excessive fire brigade station.

It looks more like a giant condom.

Agreed.

That'll be €400m. Thank you very much.

That view is shocking!

The Telstra Exchange.

There's one in every major Australian city. They are abominations.

What the hell do you guys want?

A Mona Lisa scale, feat of aesthetic wonderment on every street corner??

Some buildings are ugly.
Because some buildings are nothing more than a box made of structurally sound building materials...
Also, pretty things cost more...

I kinda like the way Landsdown looks btw

Used to live across the road from the one in Melbourne, didn't realise they were in every city

My contribution: the science building in UCC

Yeah, Douglas Village SC is brutal and utilitarian, destroys what was otherwise a pleasant suburban setting. I hate it, pass it nearly every day and have the same thoughts everytime. I pity quaint little K.C's chipper stuck beside such a monster, I pity Douglas, the village has lost it's soul. The planners/architects should be strung up, people actually did 3rd level education to produce this kind of retarded s***. Utterly no redeeming features not one.
The cinema across the road leaves a lot to be desired but at least it's set back from the road. This monster just sprawls.

This horrible, manky eye-sore. And it gets worse the closer you get. It looks like something out of Cold War-era Russia and is deteriorating all the time. Wouldn't be sorry at all if this relic was pulled down.

This yoke.

Disgusting thing from all angles.

And Hawkins House

bonerm

Hawkins House of course deserves a mention

I work just around the corner from that building, and every morning when I pass it, I choke back the vom. It's a terrible building.

Surely a bungalow would be more suited to him. How does the poor fella get upstairs if the lift is broken?

El Tarangu

My dad's girlfriend has to work in Hawkins' House: apart from being really ugly, the windows are all ****ty and draughty, they let in all the fumes from the buses lined up next to it.

Unpleasant to say the least.

El Tarangu

oh, and I quite like the US embassy, and Bus Áras, too.

Brutal modernism all the way

Limerick is just absolutely blighted with bad planning/architecture. There could be a whole thread on it.

Situated on the broad majestic Shannon is this piece of Soviet Style design

I always hated the look of the arts block in TCD.

Shocking.Depressing! Wait until pictures of Wexford Co.Council show off their new Civic Centre in Gorey appear More mental and physical vomitting assured! Tree planting will not hide an environmental blot.

Penney's Limerick (and the others near it)

Can you believe it replaced this beautiful building?

Another picture of the building it replaced. Cannock's, Limerick.
