20 Ugly Houses in Melbourne are Being Instagram-Shamed!
We have seen our share of failed architecture, and while Australia seems to be on the other end of the world, ugly houses are literally everywhere?with people underthinking the role of architects and thinking it is easier to actually design their own houses and go wild! In Melbourne, Australia, someone got fed up and decided to create an Instagram account dedicated to shaming ugly houses.
Dubbed uglymelbournehouses and titled “Frank Lloyd Wrong”, they share random ugly houses around Melbourne and accompany them with funny and shaming captions, turning them into memes (architecture can be funny, too).
“The city has also produced some brilliant home-grown local architects and has a distinctive design culture, without the overreliance on international ?starchitects? like Sydney.”
?Nicholas Reece
Although the Deputy Lord Mayor of Melbourne thinks the is one of the most interesting cities regarding architecture, Nicholas Reece stated that “in recent years Melbourne has allowed too many poor developments to be built. Too many towers that are nothing more than spreadsheets in the sky, delivering a profit for developers but leaving the city poorer because of bad design and low-quality materials.”
“Too many buildings that are low-grade and bland when newly complete and destined to deteriorate into eyesores over time,” Reece continued. And the following ugly houses are actually among these low-grade and bland buildings.
