People make mistakes, and some of these mistakes happen on the job. Usually, the incident is corrected and the whole thing can be forgotten in a few minutes. But if it was an architect who messed up, the "hiccup" can be a lot more noticeable.

There's a Facebook group called 'That's It, I'm Architecture Shaming - Burn It to the Ground Edition' and it's dedicated to calling out every building that its members believe shouldn't have seen the light of day.

Of course, if there aren't objective negatives (like structural damage), a lot of it boils down to taste, igniting heated discussions, but it makes scrolling through the content a lot more interesting.

Hahaha this one is funny as well. The shaming part would be that the middle window isnt in the middle and doesnt complement the face. Seems like the front door isnt in the middle either. That's a shame.

    This looks like the house right down the street. We heard the builder was also the designer. He built it and it stayed vacant for quite a few years. It finally sold to a couple who are a bit odd but the yard is fabulous, we're not friends. No one bothers them because you can't figure out where the front door is, they're several lol

    According to Associate professor Melonie Bayl-Smith from UNSW Built Environment, architecture today suffers from an originality syndrome.

    "When architects try to do something completely original, they don’t necessarily produce a better building," she said, adding that originality shouldn’t necessarily be the highest value of an architect.

    The metal part on the outside is like a cover. Underneath the metal is likely a regular building. Then the metal part is situated somehow over the top. It's like two separate parts to create one building. If I'm making sense at all...

    "I see that architecture today, in some cases, has become a very form-based exercise, often at the expense of the quality of space or other crucial aspects of architecture. It doesn’t matter anymore whether it responds to anything to do with site or place or people — apparently, we just want it to look different," Bayl-Smith said.

    The professor argued that creating a well-thought-out product is more important than doing something for the sake of its novelty.

    "I think we as a profession need to do a better job of recognizing what does work well, and developing and enriching those approaches, whether it’s spatial design, material design, the processes of building assembly, sustainable practices — all the different things that contribute to making a great, long-lasting building," she said. "There are enough poor buildings out there; we don’t need to keep 'inventing' more of them just to try and be 'original'."

    There are a few basic architectural concepts that explain why some buildings just look off. First, we need to look looking at their mass.

    "The primary mass is the largest shape in the building block. The secondary masses are the additional shapes that form the facade of a building." So if there are too many of them, the house has no concept and looks bizarre. Also, buildings need balance. Good-looking houses are usually symmetrical or asymmetrical. Any other way of designing them could result in conflicting rooflines and other architectural elements.

    I've lived in a lot of houses, and I've realized that older houses seem to be focused on exterior aesthetic at the expense of the comfort of the people who actually live there, while more modern houses tend to cater more to the residents without regard to 'appearances'. I can only assume this reflects the mindset of the generation the house is built in. I much prefer comfort and internal beauty over the societal idea of 'appearances'.

    I could ALMOST be OK with the windows if the three in the middle were equally staggered. The first one is either too high or the last one not low enough. It's making me nuts.

    It's called "facadism". It's a massive problem in London. Perfectly good historic buildings get pulled down and replaced with horrible modern structures simply because it's more profitable for a developer to do that than make an old building work for them. As a concession to the planners they retain just the facade. Not only is it cultural vandalism in pursuit of greed, but it is also a disaster for the environment- destroying perfectly good buildings releases the building's embodied carbon and requires vast quantities of carbon-emitting steel and concrete production.

    My mum visited East Berlin before the wall was built and on a walking tour, the guide said it was forbidden to break from the group. Well, she broke from the group to look at something and she discovered why they were forbidden from exploring: the whole area was a facade. The fronts of buildings that were still standing after the war were fixed up, but whatever was behind was left as rubble. Her tour guide was seriously annoyed when she asked about this.

    This is not a 'victory' of any type. If he didn't want to live in a building with an old facade he shouldn't have bought it. It's perfectly possible to have a modern building behind the old frontage. I've seen it many times.

    Even though today we have countless tools to make a design work, a few mistakes still end up getting made quite too often. According to Build It, it's not a good idea to save some money on parts of construction that will be difficult to upgrade later, like bricks or roof tiles. Also, employing too many different materials could be one of the reasons a house turns out wrong. It can make it seem overly "busy" and distract from other features.

    Architects have the power to make our lives much easier and new buildings and public spaces need to accommodate and protect society, not confuse us.

    After all, a report by the United Nations (U.N.) stated that 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas today. A number that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. Our environments are changing at an incredible rate, so designers, urban planners, and architects have to face the challenges to ensure they serve the people who live there.

    This is the (W)rapper building in Culver City. It's supposed to look like the building is wrapped in ribbons. This is part of the back side of the building. The front looks very different.

    I think you are right, in Louisville close to UofL there use to be a Purina plant and the silos were left for a long time- growing up they had the checker pattern at top but was later removed and UofL had a banner on each. Used to be a landmark on the traffic report ("...wreck on 65 South before the silos...") But they were torn down some time ago.

    When I was house hunting 20 years ago I noticed that new construction homes were suffering from a virulent gable disease. Builders had determined that the more gables that they added to a house the more the buyers would perceive it to be a high end construction. I saw stretches of homes with as many as seven gables.
