Ugly Buildings Round the World Part 7


Above, here, is the incredibly ugly site of the 'Kaden' Building.

According to Wikipedia, this monstrosity is a 15-story office building in suburban Louisville, Kentucky. The building opened in 1966 and was originally named Lincoln Tower. The building is notable for its cantilevered structure and its suspended lacework facade.

I think it looks like a standard office block, with unfinished scaffolding bolted on. The scaffolding looks as if it's about to fall off. It's truly hideous!

I aim to put another one up soon, so enjoy!

Ugly Buildings Round the World Part 6

Hi All,


I have decided to include the Shard in my latest posting because it is, in my opinion, not very nice to look at.
According to Wikipedia it's 309.6 metres tall and has the title of tallest building in Europe. and is also the second-tallest free-standing structure in the UK. It's in London.




It looks a bit like an unfinished, tall greenhouse. It doesn't even look as if it's closed at the top.Good luck to anyone living in it. They'll definitely need to buy some thick curtains!
