Growing up, I watched countless hours of HGTV with my mother. I also tagged along to dozens of open houses, even when we weren’t planning on moving any time soon. She loved looking at homes and critiquing their designs, and I would pretend to have an opinion while snacking on the complimentary cookies realtors put out for guests.

Today, I still don’t know very much about architecture or what makes a great building. But you don’t need to have much technical knowledge to be able to spot a monstrosity. We took a trip to the That’s It, We’re Architecture Shaming Facebook group and gathered some of their most atrocious pics below. From office buildings that look like they could fall down at any moment to bizarre bungalows, enjoy scrolling through these photos. And be sure to upvote the ones you can’t believe an architect signed off on!
