I’m not an architect, but I think it’s possible to be so bad at it that even I know when someone wasn’t thinking when they designed something.
Although some architecture is super practical and thoughtful, there are many instances of unsafe architecture for adults. There are so many that there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to it.
Here are some of the most unsafe architectural designs people saw:
1. “All These Houses Are Connected By A Pool”
2. “Bruh”
3. “Just Don’t Swing It Side To Side Too Much”
4. “Mural On The Back Of Acme Incorporated”
5. “This Staircase”
6. “What Was Their First Idea, Stairs Made Made From Piles Of Rusty Nails?”
7. “Almost Pulled A Michael Scott While Delivering Groceries Today”
