25 Ominous Pictures Of ‘Evil Architecture’ That Looks Like A Villain’s Lair
I’ve always loved architecture, especially buildings that take risks and push design into new territory.
But every now and then I come across a structure that makes me stop and wonder what was going through the architect’s mind, because it looks less like a place people work and more like the headquarters of a super villain plotting world domination.
There’s something weirdly fascinating about these designs. The sharp angles, the looming shadows, the unapologetic intensity all give off serious “final boss” energy.
These ominous examples of so-called evil architecture feel dramatic, intimidating, and just a little too perfect for a cinematic monologue from the top floor.
