Hilarious Building Design Fails"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

How hard is it to design a building, really? All you need to\ndo is draw a box, add a few stair cases here and there, and call it a day,\nright? If that were the case, we\u2019d all be architects, and what we know as fails\ntoday would be architectural marvels. Luckily, that\u2019s not the case, so whenever\nwe see horrible building designs, we can\u2019t stop wondering what in the world the\narchitect was on (and whether they\u2019ll give us the number of their dealer). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The room for Parkour-ers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are only two people who can make it onto this seated lounge: parkour-ers and ghosts. If you\u2019re neither, then good luck trying to find a place to sit as reception silently judges your lack of physical prowess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Bad photoshop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instead of moving the clock slightly to the right like a normal person, these builders decided to do the more challenging job by bending a metal pipe. Perhaps the builder was being paid\u2026 by the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Urrbody in the club getting\u2019 tipsy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Ok, this isn\u2019t a club, but this building is a bit tipsy. We\u2019re curious to see what is inside and who would risk their safety living within a home that\u2019s on the edge of toppling over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. What a view!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Pull these curtains apart and you\u2019ll have an excellent view of the concrete jungle ahead. Or a depressing view of your hotel wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Structural support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The architect left the builders with two options here: either tear the entire building down to move the support columns or cut the skyway and let students risk bumping their head on said support columns. Needless to say, the builders made the more cost-efficient choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. This architect has some balls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Whether intentional or not, our child within us is laughing\nuncontrollably. Did the client seriously greenlight the construction of this\nphallic-shaped building or was this made out of spite? Either way, it\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Pro-flooding measures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Correct us if we\u2019re wrong, but shouldn\u2019t the drain go on the lowest to allow rainwater to flow into the sewers? No? Oh, sorry, our mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Up and down and up again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Exercise never hurt anybody, right? We\u2019re left wondering how many people accidentally tripped down the minuscule flight of stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. In case of fire: LOL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fire escapes are meant to give residents a route to escape from a burning building. The least the builders could have done was include parachutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. Yes, these escalators are made of stairs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the mall contractor ran out of money to include escalators, or perhaps this is just some way to promote a more physically active lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. High security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Have you ever wanted to greet your neighbor only to have a fence blocking the way of friendship? Well, you can solve that problem instantly by installing this ridiculous fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

23. If you\u2019re in a wheelchair, you don\u2019t belong here<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being in a wheelchair is hard enough, so to ask a handicapped person to jump two steps to use the bathroom is just inhumane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. Wheeee!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If you\u2019re only in a wheelchair temporarily, ride down this handicap slide and you\u2019ll be in it for life. Good lord, some people should seriously consider seeking another profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Aerial views are important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the architect was inspired by Eurasian culture and used a swastika design as a shout-out for peace. We\u2019re seriously hoping that that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

15. In case of fire: LOL Part 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

You\u2019ll either need an angle grinder or serious karate-chopping skills to remove the hydrant from this case. We hope this isn\u2019t in the same building as the inescapable fire escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16. Pretending to work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Load-bearing columns are supposed to bear loads right? Then what the hell is this one doing?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

17. The pointless door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

We live in a two-dimension world where people can\u2019t sidestep. Oh, we don\u2019t? Well, that\u2019s that, then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

18. Building with a view<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If the owner of the shorter building ever decides to add two more floors, the owner of the apartment with two windows will have the perfect view of a brick wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The sad part is that flipping the door right side up isn\u2019t all that difficult. However, this setup is probably easier for the dog to bark at vicious mailmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

20. Handicapped? Park somewhere else<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

We\u2019re at a complete loss of words here. Why was this conceived and why did the builders build it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

21. CTRL+E<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Misalignment is one of the most infuriating things on the planet. The clock could absolutely fit dead-center on the tower, but nooooooo \u2013 we have to make this CHURCH look ridiculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

22. I\u2019m just taking a breath of fresh aaaAAAAAHHHHH!!!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There has got to be a story behind the design of these hilarious balconies. Oh, here it is: the architect is a jerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Have an unruly neighbor that you want to punch in the face from the comfort of your home? Live in this apartment complex and you totally can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Not enough air circulation in your apartment? Too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The dedication needed to carve a slot for this TV is astounding to pass the drywall is astounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

26. Is that a phallic-shaped building on your piece of land or are you happy to see me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Don\u2019t blueprints include an aerial view of the building? If they don\u2019t, perhaps they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

27. Instructions unclear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Source: imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Common sense should be a prerequisite for becoming a construction worker. The builder totally forgot to include handrails!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

28. Another example of a lack of common sense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If, for instance, you calculated that the stairs would block the path to the door, why oh why would you continue finishing the stairs? At least ask the client whether they greenlighted the design before blindly moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

29. So many problems here<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you have to climb several feet to access the ATM. Next, you have to squat down. If you want (YOUR OWN) money, you gotta earn it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Alright, this has got to intentional. How can you look at\nthe blueprints and say that a phallic-shaped window is exactly what your office\nbuilding needs? Unless we\u2019re looking at the Playboy Mansion from above,\nsomebody should be fired. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
