From Bizarre To Downright Dangerous, Here Are 40 Architectural Fails That Deserve Public Shame
People on the internet love to shame others for their choices. Whether it's tragic hairdos, crafts, or proposals, people love pointing out how tasteless others can be. It gives us a sense of superiority, of course, but there's another element too. We might just be having some harmless fun and being silly.
Architecture is no different when it comes to being shamed. Online, there are groups and pages dedicated to bad decisions that some architects and interior designers have made throughout the years. The "I'm Architecture Shaming" page is all about that kind of content, so, scroll down and see some of its best posts below!

There's hardly any objective critique when it comes to shaming architecture. What looks tasteless and offensive to some might appear classy and attractive to others. Yet there are some types of buildings that get shamed online more often than others.
Brutalist architecture, McMansions, and overly gimmicky contemporary buildings, or attempts at imitating established architects and their timeless style, for example. So, let's explore some of the biggest (according to the internet) architectural sins that people love to dunk on.

"There Are No Words For This Chandelier": yes, there are - with lots n lotsa asterisks in em. Being installed the way it is "ingrown hair being pulled out" is about the friendliest I can come up with.
McMansions are one type of houses many people love to hate. What exactly are McMansions? It's almost like a mansion, but not quite. According to Miller Samuel Real Estate Appraisers and Consultants, they're large like mansions, but culturally as ubiquitous as McDonald's fast food restaurants.
From an aesthetic point of view, McMansions don't appeal to people because they lack symmetry. They often have bombastic entrances; they feature stretched columns and oversized pediments. They seldom adhere to any one architectural style, period, or geographical location. They're sort of an architectural salad.

It wouldn't be fair to say that everybody hates McMansions. On the contrary, some people are demolishing historic modernist buildings to make way for their large homes. Just last year, actor Chris Pratt got a lot of flack from netizens for demolishing Craig Ellwood's Zimmerman House.
The actor chose to get rid of the historic mid-century building to make way for his new 5,000-square-foot farmhouse and people trolled him relentlessly for basically "buying a Rothko for the frame."

Feel Like This Belongs Here
Kabuki Kitsune 10 months ago
Planter came first, in the center of the property, then a road widening project took a section. Later, when the paths were added in, they were built to the new size of the plot of land, making the new 'center' where the walkways converge, be about eight feet off center from where the planter is. Since they either didn't want to, or couldn't (historic districts sometimes make it hard to move old park features around) move it, this was the best solution. You see this quite a bit in older cities.

Load More Replies... Environmental psychologist Sally Augustin describes McMansions as unamenable for human comfort. Due to their high ceilings, the foyers and 'great rooms' are quite formal and lack coziness. Because most of the rooms are not rectangular, they can be stressful for some people. Especially when you're trying to think of where to put the furniture.

McMansions are not from the world of high architecture. But they don't have to be: they're for the well-off suburbia.

Brutalist buildings have a very distinct style, but not many people would like to live in one. When we think Brutalism, it's often government buildings and post-Soviet countries that come to mind. After the 1970s, people began to see them as overpowering and cold, and associated them with the ills of society instead of thinking of them as uplifting icons.

Architecture can be funny, but when it's overdone, hardly anyone is laughing, at least in a good way. Take, for example, the "Big Basket" building in Ohio or the Dog Bark Park Inn that's shaped like a beagle. Although they might look fun for some, they don't really adhere to classic architecture design principles. Whether that's good or bad, we'll leave for you to decide.

I’ve seen this one before. My guess is the house got a remodel and these stairs are no longer needed but they decided to make it an interesting secret feature. OR there’s kids bedrooms and this is their bathroom. Kids probably think it’s cool
We want houses to be pretty, sure, but shouldn't they also be comfortable, cozy, and, you know, feel like a home? More often than not, contemporary avant-garde houses sacrifice comfort for aesthetics. If you've followed our other posts about architecture shaming, you've probably seen structures that feature staircases that go nowhere, windows that don't open, and balconies that can't be accessed.

Common remodel. The house was originally a single family location, but was rebuilt and converted into a triplex. The front stairs were removed, and new entrances made in the rear for the other two levels. Since the builder didn't want the person on the first floor to be responsible for, or have to deal with the mail for the other two floors, they blanked off the old door, and just allowed the first floor to use the back entrance.

So once upon a time in the US, property taxes in structure was based on how much of the structure was on the ground. There were settlers who built barns that were multilevel, and the bottom level was smaller than the upper so that they'd pay less in taxes. Google the French barns in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I wonder if this was built for the same reasons, wherever it is.

Where's the driveway? Where's the path? I think this is the back, as those are patio doors. Garage could be for gardening equipment..

I wonder if that section can flip up like a draw bridge. That would be cool.

Get out that power washer again. It's proving to be a great asset against architects.

I'm guessing they're doing the best they can with their situation. Trailer might have to be oriented that way for utility hookup and they need the steps to match the ground contour. And I'd bet money they have a family member who's confined to a wheelchair.

The wheelchair ramp seems to comply with ADA requirements. But the rest of the deck would be inaccessible.

So you build a ramp that's actually manageable - and have it end on a teeny-tiny little stoop where the opening of the back door threatens to send you and your wheelchair down all those deck levels, like tumbling down stairs in slo-mo.....

Those things are freaking expensive as houses anymore.

Given the distance from the door, over to where the concrete pad is, I'm willing to bet that this was done because whoever lives there has limited mobility such that a straight ramp from the door to the pad would be too difficult to climb. The stepped deck is more an aesthetic choice, as if they had come straight out of the door and had a flat deck, it'd be on 8 or 10 foot posts, and a pretty serious drop.

Why??? This Is A House In Belgium, Why Built A Glass Wall Around It?

This is a great way to trap heat in the winter, you can let your windows open when the sun warms the glass extension

I looked it up. It's in Mariakerke and was done for insulation purposes and noise reduction.

This House Has Driveway Stairs. I Repeat, Driveway Stairs
Spidercat 10 months ago (edited)
And? Accessible for cars, wheelchairs and pedestrians...I see nothing but a clever solution. Better than having stairs and a ramp separately.

It's going to be iffy for wheelchairs that's an awfully steep slope.

Jesus Christ How Horrifying

Add some cheery plants, flowers, paintings, etc. Great for a retirement home or nursing home so the residents can socialize without worrying about weather.

Old photo. This is a special retirement community/assisted living facility that was built in an old store. The community is set up with a kind of 'two floor' system that allows people living in it to feel like they are in a home of their own, as opposed to a hospital room.

I've seen it before but I don't remember if it was a redone Mall or something else. I'm pretty sure it's not in the US.

Serious Question: Why Does This House Have Iuds On It?
Kira Okah 10 months ago
Some form of t-head anchor plates, at a guess. Usually see them with s-heads.
Wingsofwrath 10 months ago
Correct, those are 19th century masonry anchors, basically metal tie rods with plates on each end to keep the outside walls from moving outwards under the load of the floors, same reason in earlier construction you'd have butresses on the outside of the wall. The decorative plate on the outside can be any shape, as long as it spreads the load over a large surface area. In Romania, most of them are in the shape of the letter "X".

These anchor plates resemble the shape of an intrauterine device.
