17 unattractive and downright ugly architectural structures that are found in different countries of the world (18 photos)

Beauty in architecture is subjective and depends on the tastes of each person. However, some buildings can still cause mixed reactions and become the subject of heated discussions and ridicule.





Have you ever come across downright ugly or even ugly buildings? If not, then you are very lucky, because today we will admire them. Yes, they are unattractive, but they still deserve attention and even, to some extent, praise. Because the architects who were involved in their construction were able to do the almost impossible - to distinguish their brainchild from the background of millions of other buildings. Isn't this an achievement?
