If asked to picture a cozy home, most of us would probably have a few attributes in common, warm light, soft furniture, perhaps a fireplace. One would think that these attributes would also then feature in the minds of the people who design them. But, as it turns out, some architects really have their own agenda.

The aptly named “Evil Buildings” online group is dedicated to exactly that, man-made structures that really seem like they were intended to serve as a supervillain’s lair. So get comfortable as you look at these pointedly uncomfortable buildings, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

    Many of the buildings here share some common attributes, aged concrete slabs, industrial designs, imposing forms that, at a glance, seem like a place a supervillain would hide their superweapon. Even the name of this style, brutalism, conjures up a stark, harsh reality. As an architectural style and philosophy, it’s often misunderstood, but it presents a heavily human-centered solution to architecture in its emphasis on honesty, longevity, and community in ways that many other styles neglect.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Brutalist buildings reveal their concrete purpose and shape without hiding supports or relying on decorative facades. This honesty creates an unadorned relationship between form and function so that people can see how spaces engage with each other and what they are utilized for by simply observing the building itself.

    Concrete's durability provides sustainability and long-term value. Its thermal mass can control indoor climates naturally, storing heat energy during the day and releasing it at night, with the potential for reducing dependency on mechanical heating and cooling. Minimal repairs are required over the course of decades because of the resilience of these buildings, making them resource-effective in their life cycle.

    The cheapness of this material is another feature, not a “bug.” While it might seem cold and uncomfortable, many “brutalists” would argue that homelessness is a lot worse. By using materials that are easy to transport and manufacture, cities can be transformed, slums removed and even working class families can get access to normal, livable amenities. Some architects are always more skilled than others, but that remains true no matter what style they embrace.

    The majority of the Brutalist structures came as a result of the post-war needs and supported modular, flexible designs. Architecture that integrates the living area, play areas, and paths of circulation in one form was developed for real communities whose needs shift over time. Flexibility respects human lives and allows space to modify the use of space according to requirements.

    Brutalist buildings normally served a civic function, attempting to serve society in the guise of housing, town halls, and libraries. The strength, occasionally drama, of the buildings was intended to convey collective worth and institutional pride, rather than elitism. Such monumentality has the power to generate involvement and a common sense of identity rooted in place.

    The Shadowless Church, also known as the Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park Church, is a unique architectural marvel located in Chengdu, China. It's characterized by its all-white, minimalist design, constructed primarily from aluminum. The church is known for its unique ability to allow light to pass through its structure, creating a "shadowless" effect, especially when bathed in sunlight. Its design, inspired by the lavender fields of Provence and Impressionist art, is intended to evoke freedom, romance, and inclusivity. Those last three and this photo combined, not so much.

    Despite appearances of coldness, the majority of Brutalist designs incorporated social interaction and access, with communal terraces, walkways, and in-house services included in the design. These elements were meant to provide opportunity for neighborly encounters and shared experience, mirroring the idea that buildings must facilitate human contact.

    Interest has been revived in the practicality and genuineness of Brutalism over the last few years. Its straightforward structure and raw surfaces ignite contemporary reinterpretations, such as concrete furniture, sustainable reinterpretations which pair exposed material with plant life, and these reinterpretations are able to diminish urban tension while encouraging biodiversity, proving how the ideals of Brutalism remain valid.

    Oka began this project in 2005, armed with basic hand tools and a vision. The building’s twisting concrete form reveals his improvisational approach, shaped day by day without rigid plans. Its angular windows and irregular surfaces aren’t mere details; they reflect the rhythm of making—decisions carved into concrete with each pour. Oka even incorporated everyday objects like food trays into the formwork, creating subtle patterns and textures that reward close attention. The building reads like a conversation between sculpture and architecture. It feels personal, almost human, as though each wall carries traces of the hands that shaped it. Despite its unconventional construction, the Arimaston Building is no relic of the past—it’s fully integrated into the urban fabric, yet unapologetically individual. Now completed, the structure faces an unusual challenge: to be relocated in 2025 due to redevelopment. Using the traditional Japanese hikiya method, the entire building will be moved.

    The rounded part in the middle looks like it could walk somewhere.

    Finally, Brutalism is not simply a matter of massive concrete forms. It is based on transparency, rendering construction honest and legible; resilience, designing to last and be low maintenance; functionality, shaping spaces according to actual human needs; civic purpose, elevating public institutions and a community focus, designing for public interaction. By prioritizing usefulness in real life over prettification, Brutalism can be a model for intentional, people-focused design instead of something obsolete.

    No, you remember that correctly. It is in dire need of renovations, but due to the renovations being expected to be very expensive, and the high operating costs of the building itself, neither the city (as owner) not the Messe Berlin (as operator) are interested in actually renovating the ICC. It's not completly abandoned (it served as an emergency shelter for refugees around 2016, and as a vaccination center during the Covid-19 pandemic), but hasn't hosted any congresses since 2014.

    Those kinds of buildings might look dull or even dystopian, but I think they're great! They provided much needed affordable housing for the population boom after the WW2. They also were often designed with built in stores and service points, and planned not individually but as a collective. Therefore they also included preplanned greenery, playgrounds and even schools, post offices, medical clinics and other buildings necessary to live comfortably without having to travel far for anything. Unfortunately, nowadays developers care only about the money from apartment sales, so they still build those blocks but without anything else... They tend to be crammed super close together (can look into neighbor's windows), have no commercial spaces, playgrounds or other amenities. They might be good sleeping spot, but you have to travel for everything - from school and doctors, to simple groceries.

    Not sure if that pic above is altered, but there's a pic on Wikipedia of colored rays, and this blurb: Rheinkomet (lit. 'Rhine comet') is a light art installation on top of the Rheinturm (Rhine Tower) in Düsseldorf.] It has 56 Xenon arc lamps. Due to high public popularity, they try to set it up permanently and to use it on special occasions.

    This is in La Jolla and likely the picture timing this isn't construction. They recently completed a "deep clean" of the property and building. Friend of mine taking architecture was able to get inside before it was "christened" and said it was incredible. Of course later it was full Mormon...had a close co-worker pass, no one was able to attend the service who wasn't Mormon. Location is on the east side of I-5 in La Jolla and yes, looks cool and impressive.

    They were forced by California to allow public tours for a certain amount of time after it was built. Rumor has it that afterwards they tore out all the carpet that all the non-Mormon heathens walked on to "re-sanctify" the structure.

    "They would typically take the form of a small stone or brick tower with an opening on the top. Dead, disabled, female, and unwanted infants could be thrown inside and abandoned. The baby tower is described as a donation from wealthy people in the countryside, as a more humane alternative to drowning babies in a river, common at the time. The pagoda architectural style is intended to suppress the spirit of the children, to prevent them from being reincarnated." - as per Wikipedia. So basically yes, you drop them in and walk away. 🫣

    Dee's website with the correction that *these were not a places to abandon babies* they are *burial sites* is a fascinating link I'm going to repost because it's an amazingly well done site that's absolutely chocked full of information: https://chinesedeathscape.supdigital.org/read/cradle-to-grave This is not to minimize the fact that there was a high incidence of abandoning infants--especially females, babies with physical deformities, or people so poor they simply could not feed another child. but let's be precise in what we're discussing and not spread misinformation.

    Do a Google image search using "sancaklar camii". It's really a beautiful building.

    I don't think it looks remotely evil. Minimalist and quite peaceful.

    I just looked it up & it's in Charlotte, NC and it's HUGE. I saw an aerial view of it. They must have RICH people going there because their daycare prices are almost $21,000 a year for 3 to 5 year olds and almost $21,000 for 1 a 2 year olds including lunch and snacks. Half days are $2700-5800 depending on how many days for 2 to 4 year olds. Five year olds is $7900 and no food or snacks included. Their kindergarten thru 9th grade is $15,500 a year. That's insane

    Thanks for that info. I paid $5000 a year back in 1985 for a three year old.. Private school was $6000 a year when he turned six. And preparatory school was $17,500 a year starting at age fourteen. I am not good at correlating 1985 dollars to 2025 dollars. Anybody know?

    The money spent on ridiculous things like this could be put to far better use. There are many, many worthwhile charities who actually benefit society that would make far better use of this money than corrupt and malign religious organisations.
