Against Bad Architecture (Blank) Against Bad Architecture is a site about Architecture and Design …gone wrong. The same however, cannot be said for design choices and preferences.

As licensed professionals, architects are entrusted with the “health and welfare of the public”, or as the statues state it: architects who fall below minimum competency or who otherwise present a danger to the public shall be prohibited from practicing. That means that buildings are required to be created sound and safe for human habitation or use, and the utilization of space within and surrounding such structures. Whether a home, a high-rise, hospital or any other structure where people gather, the profession creates projects that are compliant with applicable codes and standards. There is a lot of great and extraordinary architecture in the world; Starchitects, dazzle us with amazing inventions created in fantastic minds. That is not to say that many wonderful architects don’t produce astonishing homes, museums, schools and other structures that shape the landscape of everyday life… this site is not about these projects!
_ABA shows the projects and designs that have gone wrong. Bad Architecture is hostile; it’s useless; it is dangerous or poorly planned; it is out of place, imposing, impeding… or simply ugly. This site highlights some of these sometimes funny, sometimes serious occurrences and choices to create discussion about the state of architecture and design. It is not the intention to criticize the developer, owner or builder of these structures, but to critique the outcome in a constructive, open minded and honest manner. Guest posts are welcome, even encouraged.
