The EMP (Experience Music Project) in Seattle.

The Ryugyong Hotel, whose existence North Koreans are now forbidden from acknowledging, despite the fact that its shell is over 1,000 feet tall.

whoa. I've never seen that building before. I know North Korea has a lot of hate for everything, but why keep the building a secret?tylergamereview

Because North Korea spent 2% of its entire GDP on that one single building, ran out of available money before it was even remotely close to completion, and now to keep up their appearance of perfection to the North Korean people, they employ one of two tactics: disavowing any knowledge of its existence, or Photoshopping it in pictures to add lights and a look of completion.

North Korea was hoping the building would spark foreign investments. Trouble is, inspectors hired by those investors have basically declared the building uninhabitable due to countless safety concerns and building code violations. The building was never completed. See that crane at the top? That thing's been inactive for 15-20 years, just rusting away.

I actually would've sort of liked this one a bit if they'd simplified it a bit more. Take away those ugly and random cross-windows, and I think it looks sort of cool.

I found these.

This one is just weird

Many examples of Brutalist architecture are ugly to me. Two examples in my city:

Christian Science Church

FBI Headquarters

I don't have a pic of it, but it's an upside down building I saw in Florida like 11 years ago :P

There's one in Liverpool that is seriously ugly; it looks like a collection of mini cereal boxes glued together. I tried to google it, but couldn't find the exact one.

Instead I found this one, which is not dissimilar:

It's a hotel in china. Found it at gizmodo.
