There are architects who either don't have a clue what they're doing or they just want to watch the world burn. Bored Panda has collected some of the most horrible architecture designs, and they seem to be created just to torture people.
From a bike path on the ledge of a canal to a tap above an electricity socket - all of these crazy places need a warning sign next to them. Or to be moved to hell, a place where they belong. Scroll down to check out the images and vote for those that deserve a "Worst Architecture Decision" award.

The stairs in that pic are actually closed. When it's open for use, they also open the manhole cover...

What do you think ?

I don't think these were done under the supervision of an architect or designer. We architects/ designers won't do such crimes. Haha! Probably some Mr. Know it all Contractor or owner did these horrendous things. Funny though.
LtTawny Madison 6 years ago (edited)
These are hysterical and I LOL'ed at all of them! BUT... except for the weird doors, these are mostly engineering problems. Architects just design buildings; they don't put in decor or fixtures or decide where bike paths and playsets are going to go and that kind of thing...
Mick Jefferies 7 years ago
It's worrying that these were all committed by some very 'high-priced' help in the line of architects

I can understand halfassed jobs that are only done because there are a law that obligate them to do so. but some of those doesn't make any sense, I can't imagine someone looking at a obviously wrong and unnecessary job and saying "eeh... good enough"

Maybe they had really bad supervisors, the "do it like that!" - "But, look ..." - "NO BUTS! DO WHAT I TELL YOU OR YOU'RE FIRED!!!" kind. Or they were drunk.

Maybe (some) men confuse what appendage to put where? There was a hand dryer beside the urinal.

These are hilarious, but let's be real... 1. Some of these are obviously not done by designers. 2. Not all designers are created equal, so if you're working with a good designer, give them a hug!

#52 is for rolling you bike up. It's really common in most European cities because people travel with their bikes.
