the ugliest builing in america is...


The winner in most people's book is Boston City Hall. It is hideous and brutal but should it be torn down? Some architectual Historians say no! This is a perfect example of a school of modernist architecture know as brutalism. The current school of thought is YES. The vote is out. You be the judge. An ugly building surrounded by an forbiding plaza across the street from Colonial American icons.mmmmm?
