The “Cursed Architecture” Twitter Feed Showcases The Best Of The Worst (40 Pics)
Whether we're talking about the subreddit Crappy Design or the Instagram account Ugly Irish Houses, the Internet seems obsessed with tasteless crimes against aesthetics and functionality. If you are too, the Twitter account "Cursed Architecture" is right up your alley.
Its hellish content includes strange angles, melting paint, vaguely threatening toilets, stairs that lead to nowhere, and more. Basically, the kind of stuff that architects and interior designers would imagine in a horror-comedy. But believe me, you don't have to be an industry pro to appreciate these pictures. They're so bad, us regular folk will get them as well. Enjoy!

At least the stairs aren't that corrugated metal crap that you can see through, I still wouldn't want to walk down this though!
These are the stairs that never end. They just go on and on my friend....
this is the fire scape of my building, in sao paulo o.0 and it isnt bad as it seems
Who needs gyms when you can just climb 36435 stairs everyday to your apartment
better to not have an escape? this doesn't belong here. all buildings should be designed with outdoor stairs
Man if I had been born in any of the places pictured (especially this one) I'm pretty sure I'd be dead by now
Well, I'm sure they'd be glad to use it if there is ever a fire. . . maybe? How do they get to it, crawl over the rails?
Made for Vertigo with added bonus of curves.. look at the pillar if you use please.
anyone elses first thought was *thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump*?
Ima just barf over the side and then take an elivator.. makes me nervous and i like heights
If I didn't have a fear of heights, I would like to slide down those bannisters !
Imagine living/working on the top floor. I sure hope there's an elevator!
I'd like to know where this is. Trying to imagine carrying my groceries up from the care.
It's in Sao Paulo, Brazil. If you look up Edificio Copan (Copan Building) online, you can see three sets of these stairs on the back of the building. It is also an interesting fact that around 5,000 people live in the 1,160 apartments of this building.

Makes you want to take a soccer ball up to the top and time its arrival, and its speed, at the bottom. Wouldn't want to meet it half-way, though!
Ok anyone else mad they made it so you can't just straddle the rail and have a 40 story slide? It would be EPIC.
those stairs make a good workout--just run up and down them twice for sick abs lol
It took me a minute to find the structural mistake. Where the staircase meets the building, there is an opening on each floor to get on the stairs. This doesn't match up when you try to enter the staircase. Big drop off on your first step.

Complete with ghost of the first victim to fail to navigate these steps!
Oh, God - the 70s. You can bet this combo also came in purple, brown and "harvest gold"

No... there are countries with little in the way of building codes and few people to enforce what codes do exist.

A lot of these are just bad decor, and have nothing to do with architecture.
