I have been to the Royal Ontario Museum. Walking through the front entrance at street level, you don't realize that the building is encased in so much steel and glass. This aerial view makes it look painful. Otherwise, they have well curated exhibits there.

This is actually not bad!

I'm so confused by that angle

I like this. It reminds me of the Lou Rovo building in Vegas

"Let's make a GIANT abstract art painting!" "Nah. How about a BUILDING?"

I actually like this one.

Daniel Libeskind, right? A master architect. That silly office desk with drawers they had before is certainly worth less than the building they have now. This example does not belong here.

I like it

i remember living in Toronto at this time and everyone was ohhh and ahhh...i was thinking you have got to be kidding and what were they thinking...Still amazed at how awful it looks.

Bro wth happened

Why did the architect not have the manners to keep his roof from cutting over the old building? No respect.

ROM in Toronto?

The "now" looks like when your PC graphics are messing up.

salvador dahli would have been proud..... i don't think the people who live there would like him.

That's an architecture students' first year fantasy, how did it get built?

That looks like a glitch

wHaT

ugh

looks like broken glass

ugly

Definition of: WHAAAAAAAAT?!?

WTF is that

The Denver Art Museum annex is similar, designed by Gio Ponti. He has designed similar structures all over the world and EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A NIGHTMARE: poor interior navigation, leaky, difficult to heat and cool, and reflections onto neighboring buildings can be blinding.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT????

OK, that’s actually pretty cool.

What crap!

Ummmm... why?

So, they went from large terraces that would allow people to sit under the sun and even plant rather large container gardens to this monstrosity that just looks like a pile of broken glass—-hell, why didn’t they stain some of the glass red to look like the blood of the poor soul who had to clean up after the glass broke.

i actually love this pls dont kill me

This one I think is an improvement.

looks like a graphik glitch

*source engine clipping sounds*

opera house on steroids?

The old entranceway was \ is grand, gold mosaic tiled arched ceiling, balconies from the second floor overlooking the spacious area with its lovely marble floor. But they moved it to the 'crystal' where you can hardly find the right door, some drab small thing right off the street. From the street, this new addition looks like the back portion of a fat hen, and now you have to use the bird,'s back aperture as the entrance.

I think that's the most ridiculous building I've ever seen

It's a glitch in the Matrix

Brain.exe has been shut down due to an overload of data.

The second on looks like a jumbled up Rubik's cube.

honestly, this one doesn't seem SO bad

I like the original one better, but the "now" one looks pretty cool.

what a disaster

Isn't this the design that Frank Gehry wadded up and threw away, but some underling fished it out of the trash. The corner was missing so that's why part of the original building was spared. Maybe from ground level you can't see how as a whole it does not come together. Taxi! Get me outta here!

me seeing then: ok ok cool me seeing now:QUÉ DIABLOS POR QUÉ HARÍAS QUÉ ESTABA BIEN ANTES
