How many ridiculous buildings are there in this world?
A building with domestic taste and aesthetics
Just the tip of the iceberg
In more countries
A project that cost a lot of money but failed.
More and more absurd than the earthy building
You may have heard of
America this dancing bridge
Cost tens of millions, designed by an excellent architect
Only 4 months after opening to traffic, it was blown down by the wind
The wind is slightly stronger
Twisted into a twist
Become one of the most serious design mistakes of the 20th century
Take a closer look at modern times
There are still designs that make people laugh or cry
A luxury high-rise apartment in Spain
47 floors
Developers spend countless money
I want to use this building to tell the world
They came out of the financial crisis
However, the 27th floor of this building
But forgot to install the elevator
Residents want to go upstairs
Can only take the stairs step by step
When this building is 90% completed
The developer thought that there was no space to install the elevator
Such an expensive mistake
I'm afraid that only the rich can afford it
Surprisingly, there are not too many such rich people
Today we take a look
What other failed projects in history that are jaw-dropping and burning money
The building that almost burned to death
Walkie Talkie Building
If you ask what is the most absurd building
British Intercom Building
Definitely number one
A building that cost 1.76 billion to build
Became the most expensive design mistake
It is located at 20 Finch Street, London
It is the most expensive single building in this city
However, it is also the most miserable building by local citizens
Not because it looks like a walkie talkie
But it often casts "death rays"
The facade of the building is made of glass
The south-facing side is designed to be recessed
We who have received nine years of compulsory education
I’m afraid there’s no one who doesn’t know about concave mirrors.
When the sun rises, there is no cloud
This multi-billion dollar building
It turns into a huge concave mirror
Gather the light
To burn the city to death
One might say
The architect who has taken so much money and has experienced many battles
Will make such a low-level mistake?
The answer is really yes
Many people have done the test
When the weather is clear
The roadside temperature opposite this building
Up to 72 degrees on average
In the summer of 2013
It's so ridiculous that it soars above 100 degrees
Can anyone who walks by the road still live?
I don't know how people are
The car with the body of steel was roasted to the point of melting
The Jaguar on the opposite side of the building, the rearview mirror housing has been crooked
The owner was dumbfounded after returning
Poor bike owners
Also filed complaints
The reporter threw the can into the illuminated area
After an afternoon, it became like this
The merchants across the building
Can't escape
The carpet burns through and the floor tiles burst
Many enthusiastic citizens
I went to the other side of the building to fry eggs for lunch
This building was voted one of the worst buildings in the UK of the year
However, Lee Kum Kee actually bought it last year
Yes, that's the brand that makes soy sauce
Acquired this walkie-talkie building for 13 billion yuan
Of course, the developers behind have also thought of many ways
To deal with the death light
Like covering the building with black cloth
And the architect Raphael Vinori
Facing a series of burning problems
Replied, "Blame global warming if you are to blame"
Directly dumped the pot on the earth and all mankind
This is not the first time he has designed such an unlucky building
Not only scourge London, England
Las Vegas, USA, too
Vdara Hotel & Spa
Vdara Spa Hotel
Majestic modeling, charming lines
Designated as LEED Gold Award building before opening
Also evaluated as an environmentally friendly building by green ecology
After opening for business
Another "Concave Mirror Building" is online
The light reflected this time
Hit the hapless pool
People on holiday here
Lie down and smell the burning hair
The plastic drink cup on hand is slowly showing signs of melting
The water in the swimming pool is getting hot
Spend money to suffer, but so
……
Finally, the hotel side is on the outer wall
Covered with a non-reflective film
Also set up a lot of umbrellas to protect people on vacation
Walt Disney Concert Hall
Frank Gehry
Also designed similar buildings
The Disney Concert Hall he designed in Los Angeles
Was scolded by local citizens to smoke from the ancestral grave
This flying shape, smooth lines
Every polished stainless steel plate
None brushed
Causing huge specular reflections
Drivers passing by have complained
I can't open my eyes
The light is reflected upstairs of nearby residents
Increase in the frequency and time of turning on air conditioners in each household
Resulting in increasing electricity bills
And the architect Gehry directly responded
"I have told Party A a long time ago that it is not my fault"
Indeed, the budget given by Party A is small and the construction period is short
In the later period, even the exterior wall of the building was not frosted
Caused a major mistake
Then spend another 90,000 dollars
Redo the superficial remedy
There is no outstanding craftsmanship
Can be avoided completely
Light pollution caused by shiny buildings
Glass curtain wall of Chinese building
Plus 200 million square meters
already become
The world's largest producer and user of glass curtain walls
How to avoid the harm
Please also understand the great god science
The 80 billion world island is sinking
Golden Dubai, a paradise for the rich
How crazy is this country
From the 80 billion world island
You can see the waywardness of the rich
4 kilometers from Dubai
There is a sea area 9 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide
There are more than 300 islands
Is the world’s largest artificial archipelago
Back in 2011
British media reported that it was "the eighth wonder of the world"
Why is it called World Island
Because the people of Dubai hope to bring the global customs
All moved to this island
Such as the continents where Britain, France, and the United States are located
Venice, Italy
Nordic countries Sweden
Even Shanghai and Hong Kong in China
They don't want to let it go
Also bought the most ruthless technology
Climate control system
If you want to rain, it will rain, if you want to snow, it will snow
Install the corresponding equipment on the island
Such as specially designed water pumps and snow generators
Residents can adjust the weather according to their preferences
It is no longer the weather that determines the mood, but the mood determines the climate
You are the god of this small island
Not only can control the sky, but also control the underground
Underground temperature control pipelines are also laid on the island
Used to control the surface temperature and recycle waste snow water
The snow falling on the ground will not disappear
Can roll in the snow
The rain on the ground will not evaporate quickly
Let the children step on the water to have a good time, why not
The entire island is divided into several types
Private mansions, resort hotels, fantasy parks and public islands
If it can be built, it will probably look like the one rendered below
Venice on the water
This huge floating Venice hotel
$800 million
It can accommodate 3000 people on the island at the same time every day
Everywhere is a landscape
Venice's water style
Reinterpreted here
People live by the water here
Through floor-to-ceiling windows
You can see the sea and sky junction of Dubai
Unobstructed view, very decompression and healing
There are a total of 414 suites on this island
180 of them are under the sea
Known as the most luxurious underwater playground in the world
4000 square feet of coral planted around the island
Live in an ocean bedroom here
The swarming fish and corals are right in front of you
As if within reach
Sit in the underwater bar and have a drink
Mysterious creatures in the ocean come to accompany
Designers make full use of the bright sunshine of Dubai all year round
Make the spa simple and transparent
Mediterranean island
300 islands
Each has its own characteristics
This one has a distinct European style
Bright colors and European architecture
Let the Middle Easterners be on the other side of the earth
Although the rendering is a bit blunt
But you can still see the anger of Party A
Every hotel is a luxury suite
Only what you can't think of, nothing that Dubai can't make
Like the roof of this room, there is a small outdoor swimming pool
Bold design, refreshing
Swedish private palace
There are private mansions on other islands
A family sitting on an island
According to the configuration of the Swedish Royal Palace
Make a copy of the same hall
Although not built yet
Was selected as the world's best luxury residential project in 2018
However, such a majestic Dubai World Island
Sinking in the sea
The 2008 financial crisis
Because the capital chain was broken, the construction plan was forced to stop
60% of the world islands have been processed one after another
In 2010, NASA released a set of photos of world islands
The world island in the photo is too different from the expected rendering
And monitored the man-made archipelago in Dubai
Is sinking to the center
Due to lack of funds, we are facing the danger of being overwhelmed
These islands were developed at a cost of 80 billion
Has become the world’s largest unfinished project
Such an expensive loss can only be borne by the people of Dubai
The above failure cases
Are regarded as classic negative teaching materials
Some are even compiled into textbooks
Let future generations avoid such absurdity
There are also many designers being scolded
Some even cut their future
But if you look closely, you will find
Many decision-making matters are done by Party A
Although designers are responsible, they are also extremely difficult
The rich father of Party A is always happy
Forget about the importance of people-oriented doing projects and engineering
Blindly thinking about being bigger and stronger
But left behind the most basic human needs
Or because of budget shortage
Cut corners, pollution consumes our common environment
Abandon the sense of social responsibility that should be possessed
Most of the time, the absurdity of rich Party A’s father
Really dumbfounding
