Re: Architectural Blunders - Why?
With out a doubt Blues Point Tower is the ugliest, most inappropriate building in the world. Stuck on Sydney harbour it has absolutely no architectural merit whatsoever and was the reason they introduced building controls round the harbour. It is a hideous eyesore and has been there 50 yearsRe: Architectural Blunders - Why?
When I look at some of the old Victorian and Edwardian buildings here and then compare with the hideous things they are building around them I do wonder where we went wrong. How can we have lost the art of making beautiful buildings when we now have the technology to make them much easier than they did back then ?Re: Architectural Blunders - Why?

I nominate STONEHENGE, people come from all over the world to see the grey stones, lured by spectacular pics of romantic rosy skies , rosy sunrises and sunsets.Re: Architectural Blunders - Why?
Well! I can't speak. Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids were a feat of engineering in their day several thousand years ago which even today can not be matched without massive lifting tackle in the form of plant and other heavy lifting vehicles that could transport the stones, some of which are 500 tons in weight from a different part of the UK, and which wasn't available then.
