I remember being 4 years old and asking my mother about one of our neighbours.
Me: "Why is the Moores' house so weird on the outside when it's so nice inside?"
Mom: "Mr. Moore is an architect. That's how he builds things."

The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.

Our aim is victory — victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

What's the old adage?
"People that live in glass houses... should get dressed with the lights off."
Abandoned Submarine Base, Ukraine
Detroit
Abandoned Waterpark in Russia
Abandoned British Sea Forts
Oh yeah, I guess this one's not real.

Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because
1. You're now several kilometres away; and
2. You've got their shoes.

Prairie Style houses, the Johnson Wax building, Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and mile-tall skyscrapers with atomic-powered elevators: yes; but a gas station? I had no idea. Wonder if the roof leaks.

Santiago Calatrava does some real nice modern buildings. Not saying I like all of them...

Supposedly the role moles for its design were the Panthéon in Paris and especially the St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

The Nikolaikirche (Potsdam) is a bit odd, however, when it comes to ugly it's a rank amateur compared to the that peaked in the 1970's and has produced some of the most ugly building every built.

Compared to the rest of the buildings in Boston, City Hall is cetainly ugly. I don't think that other building with the dome and the obelisk is ugly though.

New York has its fair share of that brutalism. The projects built between the 60s and 80s are very much that way.

That's really cool! Ugly from a distance, but looks quite nice up close.
