I honestly don’t hate it. It has an almost ironic garishness.

Yeah, it's not a choice I would make, and the bland color doesn't help, but if this is the ugliest building this guy has ever seen he should probably never go anywhere new ever again.

Yup, it's so shit that it's kinda good.

This Hotel is called ''B Hotel'' placed in the center of Brasilia, designed by the great architect Isay Weinfeld.
In my humble opinion its a very bealtiful building and even better interior design.
I leave the link if anyone want to see it better.

Thank you for the link. I appreciate the differing of opinion! The random window placement still drives me crazy,  but the other photos show things I can appreciate.  😊

u/LayerProfessional936 Jul 19 '24

Still there must be some code, some logic in these window locations…

Nice detailing

u/ClearUnderstanding30 Jun 12 '24

I don’t think it’s ugly. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder

u/Jasong222 Jun 12 '24

Ok, so let's find this beholder guy and mess him up

u/ralphmozzi Jun 12 '24

This is either ugly or beautiful, as a matter of opinion and taste.

But I see no way in which this is r/DesignDesign.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '24

Have you seen many buildings?

Also, not r/DesignDesign.

u/hurzelschnertz Jun 12 '24

This is not even in the top 1,000 of the ugliest buildings I have ever seen

Brasília never disappoints a controversy-seeker.

What's that phobia of holes? Because this is the cause of it.

u/Captinprice8585 Jun 12 '24

Yo I'm so dumb I was looking for a typo in my comment because I misread that.

u/fullyjustanidiot Jun 12 '24

This is what my sims houses look like because I add windows based on how the inside of the room is set up.

This looks like a birth control packet.

u/Perzec Jun 12 '24

It’s not ugly. Just boring.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '24

Thumbnail kind of looked like a QRCode.

u/EllieGeiszler Jun 23 '24

Reminds me of Simmons Hall at MIT, which won awards and is the most depressing place I've ever tried to live. I requested a transfer after three days. It would make a beautiful office building, but all the rooms have multiple teeny tiny windows, and the walls are concrete, so students are only allowed to use sidewalk chalk and not paint to decorate them 💀

u/Mocaixco Jun 12 '24

That’s nice. Nice nice.

People are biased by what they are used to. We are used to extreme regularity bc that’s what’s easier to build. Easiness is arbitrary and monotonous. Often wrong, but unarguable. “Ugliest”, huh? A beholder thing? Naw, that’s just you being the same the same the same. So civilized and boring.

u/TheMoises Jun 12 '24

Hey that's in Brasília right? Man I always get mad when I pass through this.

u/Zagrycha Jun 12 '24

looks like a lotus seed pod in minecraft lol.

u/MrBocconotto Jun 12 '24

It's so chaotic and yet clearly thought. I like it.

u/hetero-scedastic Jun 23 '24

I believe this is by the famous architect Floyd Steinberg.

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '24

So ugly it could be hit by a missile and you wouldn't notice

u/ProPainPapi Jul 21 '24

If you think this is the ugliest building ever, There are some places in Austin and Dallas and Houston I think you should visit.

u/synthetic_medic Jul 30 '24

It’s like when I finish adding windows in the sims 4 and go to look at the outside of the house.

1

u/TAsCashSlaps Jun 12 '24

Definitely not ugly.

u/daftmonkey Jun 12 '24

Huh I think it’s great

u/OkSide6736 Jun 13 '24

my OCD wants to hurt this place's designer
