Ugly Buildings Round the World Part 2

Hi All,

Continuing the theme of the previous week, I enclose another picture of one of the ugliest buildings in the world. This time it's the turn of the Edificio Mirador (Gazebo Building) from Madrid. I can't really describe this one that clearly. It's such an assault on the senses. It looks a bit like a multi-coloured, drunk, and rather unattractive elephant.

Edificio Mirador, Madrid. Unbelievable.

According to Wikipedia it was built in 2005, and is, shockingly, a residential building. I most certainly wouldn't live in it. It's approximately 64 metres in height, with 21 floors. The apparent 'highlight' of this particular beast is the large central hole that is about 37 metres above ground. It contains a large look out area that provides the residents (inhabitants) with a garden and a space they can view the rest of the city. I can't imagine it'd be much of a garden, but I reckon the views of the city are OK.

I admit that after the shocker of last week, this one isn't quite so bad. It's a newer building for one, just imagine what it'll be like in 10 years. It doesn't bear thinking about. Again, if anyone has any more pictures of horrific buildings please let me know.

Until next time.
