48 Times Architects Failed So Badly, They Got Shamed In This Facebook Group
Article created by: Indrė Lukošiūtė
Good taste doesn’t grow on trees. It takes years to develop properly. Bit by bit, brick by brick. Alas, some architects start designing buildings without having all of that sorted first. Meanwhile, others experiment with the limits of good taste and accidentally end up driving the aesthetics of the entire project off the cliff. The very worst examples of architectural designs end up on the ‘That’s It, I’m Architecture Shaming’ Facebook group that gently pokes fun at Really Bad Decisions.
Scroll down for the best of the worst examples of architectural madness and remember to let us know in the comments if there are any buildings here that you’d give a presidential pardon.
Matthew Brühn, the founder of the Facebook group, was kind enough to share his thoughts about the community, the line between good and bad architectural designs, and what the future holds. He told Bored Panda that it has been "truly incredible" watching the group grow. We also got in touch with Ariane Sherine, the editor at ‘These Three Rooms.’ We had a chat about buying and redecorating properties, as well as the concept of the ‘perfect’ home and when we should compromise. Read on for both exclusive interviews.
If you still haven’t had your fill after this entire list, then we kindly invite you to check out Bored Panda’s previous feature about ‘That’s It, I’m Architecture Shaming’ right over here.

welp, i think i found the artist's rendering of what it was originally intended to look like...and while originally i thought it was odd but kinda cool, now i find it shameful, because it could have (and apparently, should have) looked like this.
(rendering on top, actual on bottom.)

It's in the uptown part of Grand Rapids, MI, known as Eastown, which was once a big hippie haven and stomping ground for many interesting and creative transient folks.

Rococo Architecture Chinese Tea House, Sanssouci Park Potsdam - Germany
I took LOTS of art history and architectural history classes in college. This era always confounded me because of the sheer unabashedly over the top aesthetic of the period, the architecture in particular just had no room for restraint. Incredible craftsmanship and yet the whole manages to be less than the parts.
Frederich the Great had it built in 1764.
