Classical library design
1. Torre Villasca, Milan, Italy. In the center of Milan, this 26-story skyscraper stands out from the crowd. Torre Villasca was designed by BBPR Architects in the late 1950s, which conflicts with the neoclassical architectural style of the city. In gothic churches and exquisite domes, many people will ask, what is it doing here?

2. Xstrata, London, UK. Although this is the first building with a wind turbine in the world, this 43-story residential building has been criticized. Londoners noticed that the three wind turbines installed at the top of Xstrata hardly moved, and they were shut down for fear of disturbing residents living in penthouses. This skyscraper built at 20 10 is not an environmental innovation, but an eyesore.

3. The Blue Point Tower in Sydney, Australia was built in 1962, located in the north of Sydney, with a total of 144 apartments with 25 floors. Although originally planned as part of a series of residential towers, today's Blue Point Tower stands alone on the seaside in northern Sydney. Because the tower is very high, many people demanded to dismantle it, but in 1993, it was listed in the local heritage list of the North Sydney Parliament.

4. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, an alternative building designed by LA architect Frank Gehry in the late 1990s, made of chromium, metal, glass and limestone, immediately caused a sensation. At first, as part of the plan to transform the then industrial city of Bilbao into a cultural center, many people were disappointed with the unusual design of this museum. Despite the controversy, this museum on the banks of the Narvi River in Bilbao did play a role, attracting more than 20 million visitors.

5. Berlin, Germany, this tower is 1300 feet high and was originally used as a TV and radio signal tower in German cities. However, today it is more of a tourist attraction, with 1 10,000 tourists visiting the panoramic view of Berlin every year. Regardless of its use, Fernè s Heythum can easily become the tallest building in Germany, and it is hard to miss it.

6. National Library of Kosovo, Pristina, Republic of Kosovo. This library was designed by Croatian architects in the early 1980s, and its peculiar appearance made it a strong competitor of the ugliest buildings in the world. The National Library of Kosovo covers 65,438+000 domes, completely wrapped in metal fishing nets, and stands out from the surrounding concrete structures. However, its ugly appearance did not scare away crowds of tourists.

7. Kofta, Prague, Czech Republic, another building that makes people vomit. The city's Kofta is more than 700 feet high, rising above the sky in other parts of Prague. This ugly building was built in the late 1980s, and it was the product of the capitalist era in Prague, so it was often hated by locals and tourists.

8. Verizon Building in new york, USA, a 32-story building built in 1976, seems to be aimed at destroying the original perfect skyline of lower Manhattan.

9. 1973 The completed Mont panas Building in Paris seems to have been left in Paris by mistake. Apart from some of the most acclaimed buildings in the world, this 700-foot-high office building is unlikely to settle in this city of lights. It is even called the ugly duckling in Paris.

10. Geissel Library of Geissel Library in San Diego, USA was built in 1970, which is the main building of the University of California, San Diego. Designed by William Pereira in memory of Audrey and theodor seuss geisel.
