Upvote for the caption 😂 "The Americans have their Ivy League, in answer I propose an Ugly League for French universities."

Unless my remaining French fails me it says "The rising sea level doesn't only have to have a negative impact. For example:"

Just say "NO".

it looks like the Romans in an Asterix comic

That's our secret weapon: the transformer Leader Price

Bataille d’architectes. Match nul

The overload of vertical lines makes it look like it's crying in the rain. A-ha sang about it in the 90s.

Oooh Teal'c! His appearance has brightened my morning.

It's a water tower. The lattice around it was meant for climbing plants to grow and hide it, but they never made it higher than 2 mètres. Six feet.

Come swim in the industrial sludge

This is one of those times where you hire graffiti artists to dress it up or paint an optical illusion on it.

CHU = Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, basically a teaching hospital

Is it the way the photo was taken or is that building leaning?

Only the stairs completed. Need to see the whole building to juge.

Brutalism just sucks. Even when they get a somewhat interesting shape ... which is the only thing concrete really thrives in, that it is cast into ANY shape and form on site ... so, even in the cases there is some interessance in the shape, in the concept, in whatever, the ugly surfaces, plagued with algae, graffity and way too many little holes throws it off. Damned, use that stuff all you want, for standardized Autobahn-bridges or so, but ... can't spaces meant to provide a place to actually live in be nice, at least by some means?

That's à "pod" swimming pool. Quite à few were built in the 60s and 70s. On the right is the ET "La Denrée" from the very popular French movie "La Soupe aux choux" (cabbage soup). The building does look à bit like his spaceship. There was a not-quite-remake, but obviously inspired US version of that movie called Cocoon.

The Cora supermarket near me looks just like that. Ugly AF. But hey, it's just a supermarket, not a house thank goodness...

"Scaffolding has been in place for à while. Still waiting for work to start."

Banana for scale... Or whatever it is

Christ! Can't they stop the concrete becoming grey-brown and ugly? Somehow? You know like maybe...paint?

Why is everything so filthy?

I'm Belgian, and when you see these things passing through France, you wonder if there was an official contest of who was going to decorate the roundabouts in the most hideous way possible in France. Winner not determinable.

Cheap motel

Roundabout art meets its match.

All the charm of the shipping container on which it was modelled

Lego and Ikea's love child.

Upvote as the cleanest buildings in this contest. Wait, this IS in France, right?

Bondage Baymax

The quote in French is from Rutger Hauer's monologue at the end of Blade Runner (in reference to the second picture) : "“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..."

This is more interesting than many.

Don't insult my city my friend.

Inspired by Atari Breakout

I have the one on the right lower side on my shelf. It is called "will read later, not into storage yet".

Plenty of ledges for people to throw themselves off

"Who said mountain was beautiful?"

most of them are amazing, and you shouldnt add the statues as buildings.
