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!

I was thinking exactly this right as I saw your comment.

Based on the original tweet, it looks like it's in Brazil

Driving on the bridge, driving on the bridge, mini seizure from stress, continue to drive on the bridge.
NO! Now this... THIS is going to get people killed! If the person responsible for such laziness gets anything less than total humiliation and banishment from Earth, I will be so disappointed.
I would like to know where this is, so I can never, ever, ever drive anywhere near it.
This is how you earthquake proof a bridge people. They all have this in California.
Yes we do...but I don't remember being able to see daylight. Usually there is a foam (?) between the gaps.

only a normal expansion joint, not covered with a grill, but present in ALL bridges like this. without this space the bridge will crash due to tensions of expansion and movements not discharged. may be scary, but necessary.
Is this a new way of shaping the thermal buffer? Is it structurally stronger? Thanks

If it wasn't over water, I would guess this was Toronto's Gardiner Expressway...
is that... two pieces of sheet metal holding together that bridge?!?
Wait till you see this and you're *halfway across* and it's 500 feet down, or you're over a massive river... *shudder*
This is happening all over the US, bridges are cracking all the time, just a matter of time............
Quick someone get the Flex Seal guy, and tell him to sail that boat to where this bridge is.
Look at the metal underneath, that's what's holding it together. I live with an engineer, I showed him I love pissing him off with stupidity.
I call 100% (not) bullshit! That bridge is not heald together by that peice of metal, all roads and bridges have rebar underneath them. I also guarantee that bridge is closed and someone thought it would be funny.
They had a bridge like that collapse in Italy a few years ago. Just hope this is not another one.
Most bridges in US this way thanks to you know who. Republicans in case you did not know who.
that is not a bridge in the united states. would have to be a communist country
No, no! It's not just two metal plates holding the bridge together-now that really would be stupid! They used an adhesive, too! Remember that old school, individually wrapped, pink bubblegum that smelled almost-like bubblegum, but not quite; you would break your teeth off trying to get it pliable enough to attempt to blow a bubble, but by then, your jaws were cramping, so you'd just stick it under your desk, when you were a kid in school? Remember the teacher telling everyone to scrape the gum off their desks? Those Engineers will pay off their student debt before that gum comes off. Thats a 50k piece of gum, folks........
I can't help thinking about the Genoa tragedy. This picture gives me nightmares.
If this is in the USA I will ask, what the heck the city admin is doing??? Fix the dang bridges properly, we pay you enough taxes. Or does the city want to compensate millions to hundreds of victims when the bridge collapses?
Looks like a lot of bridges I saw in Newark, NJ. Lots of exposed rebar around crumbling concrete.
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"
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.
For when you really need to take a dump, but don't want your risotto to burn 😂😂
At first I thought seeing a lot of electric cables or similar.. but..mushrooms? How???
The consequence of hanging your toilet paper holder too high and too stubborn to admit it.
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.
