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!

Me and my husband's second apartment was like this. As soon as you walked out of the bedroom you walked straight down the stairs, the big problem was that our previous apartment you walked straight out of the bedroom toward the bathroom. During the first few weeks there were a few middle of the night tumbles down the stairs trying to head to the bathroom while still half asleep.

Maybe a large house that was refitted as a duplex... they just built a wall across the original landing, put in new doorways, & presto! You can charge rent twice!

I believe that this is referred to as "An accident waiting to happen".

Lots of old houses in England are like that. They were never designed by an architect just built by developers.

Guarantees you a revolving list of tenants. May find a keeper then you fix the floor.

Looks like some of my minecraft houses when I can't build the stairs properly for the second floor :)

Ha! I can jump across the staircase from one bedroom to the other in my old terraced house. In five years I've only fallen once

Presumably, building regulation in some of these places is what I believe is called 'light touch'

You know how annoying it is when people can see your legs under the stall panels? Well, consider yourself lucky : in there ones, they can see your butt, your balls, and the falling turd.

The Hustler Casino in California had recently opened, and I drove by it to and from work. One night, the big CASINO sign was malfunctioning, two letters kept flashing off and on. So the sign was announcing to the world "CASINO... ASIN ...CASINO... ASIN ...". I called them to let them know and they thought it was a prank until they went outside and looked at it. The next night, it was fixed.

It's from my hometown in France ! Actually the municipality decided to build a new bridge to accommodate the tram. But the inhabitants loved the old bridge so much that they decided to keep the stairs as a souvenir...

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.
