@Darren, haven’t been in KL, but I like Sydney Opera House, especially in comparison with the rest of city. For me ugliest building so far (although didn’t see it alive either) is Ryugyong hotel in North Korea. May be it gonna look better when(?) they finish it.

@Brooke, I agree, most of apartment blocks build in 60s-80s in Eastern Europe look depressing especially because not so much sun out there and in winter everything is grey, grey, grey…

The Church of the 26 Martyrs in Nagasaki, Japan gets my vote.

Vienna has such splendid Imperial architecture, and yet, just outside the Ringstrasse there is some of the most offensive architecture I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’m still reeling from that slumping beehive apartment block down near the Hutteldorferstrasse, it is possibly the ugliest thing I’ve seen that calls itself a building.

I love the Sydney Opera House. I love it from a distance as it looks like white sails on a sparkling blue harbour. And I like the interesting shapes when you are up close. I love going to events there and walking up the steps – it feels so glamorous!

If you want to talk eyesores, I can’t stand the Barbican Centre in London. It feels so desolate and dated. I’d be scared to live there.
