modern architecture...
I'll give you the Bilbao Guggenheim, which (at least in the exterior pictures I can find) is a very attractive building, but here in Seattle we must deal with the giant eyesore that is Gehry's Experience Music Project, which (at least to my eyes) looks like a monstrous pile of architectural rubbish. I can appreciate Gehry's attempts to get away from the tyranny of the straight line, and even with the EMP there's certain details which turned out well, but the overall effect is that of an overturned garbage pail.
