Architecture is an art and when you’re really good at it, your work becomes a historical landmark but when you’re not so good at it, it gets shamed online.
There’s a Facebook Group dedicated to architecture shaming and it’s full of all sorts of ugly buildings and sometimes just interesting architecture. From McMansions to phallic-shaped buildings, these pics will have you wondering how they came up with these plans. You’ve heard of Frank Lloyd Wright. Well, meet Frank Lloyd Wrong.
