20 Architects Who Tried Their Best But Failed So Hard They Got Roasted on Twitter

Building is no joke! It takes serious effort for architects and engineers to create their masterpieces. Not only does it require years of study and practice, but you also need to have the know-how to bring your ideas to life.

So, if you're looking to build something, don't expect to just pick up a hammer and call it a day. You need to be a certified professional if you want to get the job done right.

However, some people don't seem to care about regulations and standards and do things their own way. Building a structure is a huge financial commitment. From purchasing construction materials to hiring a designer and architect, it can cost a small fortune.

The bigger the building, the bigger the bill. So, you want to make sure you get bang for your buck, and the final result makes everyone go, "WOW."

If you want to see some truly horrendous architectural fails, then you have to check out the Twitter account 'The World's Ugliest Buildings.' It's like a bizarre alternate universe full of epic construction disasters.

We've picked out 20 of the ugliest structures that will blow your mind. So, strap yourself in and get ready to fly into the world of architectural hiccups!

In particular, the larger the building, the more the owner has to pay. It will be worth it if the final result makes everyone say, “WOW.” However, it will be a waste of money if everyone criticizes the structure.

Architects typically need to complete a professional degree program in architecture, which usually takes five years, and pass the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). After completing the required education and passing the exam, architects must then complete a period of practical experience, typically three years, before they are eligible to become certified architects.

We somehow believe that these people cheated on their exams...
