Literally the ugliest building I have ever seen. Evokes a cyclops blobfish fetishist breathing through a tube shoved up its nose.

The bullring (silver slug as it's locally known) is an amazing building, looks so pretty lit up at night!

So, they wanted to design a huge building that would be something other than a rectangular block of concrete. This is curvy, shaped organically, and the material reflects light, making the space around it brighter, rather than sucking it in like many building structures do. Maybe a few more of those oval windows on the sides would make it perfect.

This is a beautiful building!

Considering that previously, the Bullring was a concrete monstrosity, this is a million times better. It’s just a bad angle chosen. But overall, this does not belong in this post. Oh, and for non UK peeps, this is Birmingham in the West Midlands.

There’s a similar bridge in a nearby city to where I live that links a car park to a shopping centre, a few months after it opened they had to install 3 hand rails, one on each side and one in the middle as when people would walk across it they would feel disoriented and dizzy as if the bridge was slanted on a steep angle, in the same city there is a bridge locally known as the cheese grater bridge as the floor of it resembles a cheese grater, guess what happens when it’s raining and people fall off their bicycles………

It’s a pissed off one eyed alien with a trunk

Monty Python, right?!

This multi-awarded building used 15,000 aluminum discs, which must've raised the cost of construction, but I think it's cool.

I like this one.

Kind of looks like a silver snapchat ghost

That creature has a REALLY long nose.

Is it called "the groke" by any chance?

My nose is longer than your nose

There's a shopper...among us

This is ten mins down the road from me, it’s so ugly and you’d never think it contains a really high end shop

That's the Bullring, actually 🙄 Selfridges is one of the stores inside.

It looks like a vacuum covered in silver tacks

Not for ppl with tryphohobia tho.

An expansion onto Selfridges? The original bldg was gorgeous!!

One eyed one horn flying purple people eater?

Ugh I can't get that one out of my head, some blobby monster with a big nose.

How is this a fail?

Uhg...my eyes...

The design of the building is clearly.... questionable, but that has nothing to do with the functionality. As far as we know this could be the best store ever on the inside.

It looks like the groke from moomin

Hmm... looks like something that would exist in the Teletubbies universe.

Looks like thumbtacks .. no Windows?? It’s like a Casino, never knowing if it’s night or day?

BDSM R US

Thats not just Selfridges, thats the bullring with many stores inside

Giant windowless buildings kinda freak me out a little, the shape itself is cool but it needs more glass

Looks like a gigantic vaccuum cleaner.

Cleverly made with the biggest ball bearings money can buy.
