This thread is for posting buildings that are ugly but functional, beautiful but moronic, poorly built, poorly placed, or will kill you for some reason. We were just talking about this thing in a LAN thread. It's 200 stories high and a condo. Towards the top you've got about a 30 degree slope. Besides the obvious danger of imminent death to passersby, there's the fact that the wealthiest condo buyers in the building, on the highest floors, get windowless apartments for half of the year. This was actually built in tyool 2014.

amityville anus posted:Do they smash out the windows on a holiday and have a 6 month waiting list to get new ones? This doesn't add up, OP hrm? no the issue is that it's a building where the top 50 stories are at a thirty degree angle, in a country that has quite a bit of snow and ice accumulation. agreed leave out groverhaus c'mon folks post your ugly brutalist university libraries or whatever. the more oppressive the better!

IzzyFnStradlin posted:Why doesn't that building work properly? IE, why do the windows fall off? IDGI. I just explained it. Funnily enough, however, we do have a separate recently constructed skyscraper that *does* have an issue with the windows popping off and hurrying down to ruin someone's nice white blouse. "“In total, there have been five failures at this building,” Angelucci told the Star, nothing that two may have been caused by impacts, while the cause of others is unknown. Thursday’s failure was the third time in 10 months that police were called to close a street beside the new hotel-condo building, including when a 53-year-old man was struck and injured by falling glass last September. No one was hurt Thursday when a panel broke and fell from a private patio on the 51st floor of the condo tower, throwing thick glass shards all over University Ave. and onto the sidewalk."
