50 Times Architects Messed Up So Bad They Got Shamed In A Facebook Group

Just because it's their job to design buildings doesn't mean that they're always good at it.

Good taste isn't a talent blessed to people at birth. It's not something you can just pick off the ground either.

It's a skill honed for months and years bit by bit and piece by piece. Sadly, some people who absolutely need it for their jobs don't seem to realize this.

For instance, there are apparently plenty of architects out there who don't have their good tastes all sorted out before designing a building.

Some just straight up don't have the imagination for an aesthetically pleasing building. On the other hand, others experiment with the limits of good taste and end up throwing the aesthetics of the entire project off a very high cliff.

And while they think they can get away from the scrutiny of the world, that's where they're wrong. The very worst of these architectural failures are featured on the "That's It, I'm Architecture Shaming" Facebook group and there, they're roasted until not even a cinder is left.

Common comments before included "Burn it down!" and "Light it on fire!" but the group has had to ban such words because Facebook has been pinging them. Now, people have to get creative with their insults.

Check out the building designs below and see for yourself why they get so much gentle hate.

1. It's hard to understand what style they were really going for here

3. Thankfully, this is just an art installation

4. Take the deer head off and it actually looks cool

5. This is reality vs how it turned out

6. This room immediately makes you anxious

7. This is the house we all drew as a kid and we all know those drawings weren't that great

8. Who needs three chimneys?

9. At least their houses don't look exactly the same

10. When floods come in, these real boat houses will be more than prepared

11. The true shell station

12. This looks like a giant fairy gathering hall

13. The interior makes you just as seasick as the exterior of it does

14. Perfect for an air control hobby or something like that

15. Smurf home!

16. It looks like the sacrifice building from Midsomar

17. Why would anyone shame this? It actually looks decent.

18. Did a giant toddler do the stacking of this building?

19.It gives off the vibes of the Cullens' house

20. We don't think anyone wants to live under a lady's gigantic skirt

21. These tiny houses are really pushing it

22. They call this one a buildo

23. They look like they came out of a giant Jenga game

24. There's a glitch in the matrix

25. It seems a couple didn't agree on the house design

26. This is just one big building with over 18 000 people inside

27. This is the 7th largest pyramid in the world, a Bass Pro shop

28. Please make this make sense

29. That has got to be one of the worst Merinos out there

30. This building looks like it's permanently terrified

31. It can be cool and it can be a little too much

32. The architect must have been drunk while drafting this

33. There was just no room for restraint here

34. This quirky and not-boring house that definitely belongs in LA

35. It's confusing whether it's a house or a temple or both

36. This police station reflects the misery we feel with our governments

37. Maybe good taste is brewing inside

38. Is a modern day Rapunzel in there by any chance or is that Tweety bird's room?

39. What's the door on the second floor for?

40. At least the design makes sense

41. Meet Bob the Building

42. Hopefully, the insides look a lot better

43. Stairs designed by architects who hate drunks

44. The optical illusion actually was done pretty well

45. This house looks like it's all made up of inflatables

46. Someone got inspired a little too much by Picasso

47. This building looks ugly but hey, it has zombie fortress potential

48. It looks like a perfect fortress for introverts

49. They call this the eye of Sauron

50. Did Doctor Strange perhaps pass by here?

As people say, taste and style are subjective but some of these building designs really make us question how some people got their architectural licenses. Not only that, but how in the world did those designs get funded and built in the first place?

People want to be unique but surely, there's a line to be drawn especially when it comes to something as expensive as buildings.
