According to Virtual Tourist, the 2nd Annual list of the Worlds Top 10 Ugly Buildings bubbled up. The significance: Many of these buildings dont have the warmth of an ice cube while others dont even seem completed. Either way, they make for very interesting conversation. 10) Ryugyong Hotel; Pyongyang, North Korea Riddled with issues that range from lack of money to poor construction to rumored collapse, this still unfinished nightmare has been under some form of construction for over 20 years. Started in 1987, construction was halted a few years later and left untouched until fairly recently. 9) National Library; Pristina, Kosovo Its hard to know whether the honeycomb-pattern mesh that coats the outside of this library enhances or worsens this bizarre structure. Its been said that when the building first opened, some thought the giant net-like feature was actually scaffolding. 8) Royal Ontario Museum; Toronto, Canada What I.M. Peis pyramid is to the Louvre, so is the relatively new Michael Lee-Chin Crystal to the Royal Ontario Museum. While many praise the glass structure, just as many are troubled by the incongruity to the original, more traditional museum that still sits directly beside it. 7) Markel Building; Richmond, Virginia Although it sounds like urban legend, this futuristic building was in fact inspired by a baked potato served to the architect during a dinner for the American Institute of Architects. If only hed been served fries instead. 6) Petrobras Headquarters; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil A cross between a penitentiary and an unfinished Lego creation is one members description of this dreary, block-like structure which occupies a regrettably prominent place in the citys downtown area. To make matters worse, exterior slats give the illusion that the building is actually falling apart. Ten Worlds Ugliest Buildings of 2009 (II) 2009 Offbeat Moments see the picturesAbout the Author:
