Sometimes, Even the Professionals Are Off Their Game

Architects can make beautiful designs come to life, as long as they solve all those major and minor construction issues. But sometimes, even the most obvious details are overlooked, and the end product turns out completely unusable. From stairs that go nowhere to doors on the nonexistent third floor, here are some of the most significant architectural fails that people have captured.

Trial and Error

If you eat something different at a culinary school, you’ll put it down as an experiment by the students, even if it tastes awful! Similarly, this pillar might look like a big mistake, but because it’s in design school, it can mean something else too!

Trial and Error

The architect’s behind this vision probably had something else in mind, as it’s hard to figure out a sensible reason why this pillar has found its way to the middle of the bridge otherwise. It has also caused quite a lot of debate between budding designers.

Only Tall People Get Money

Whoever this architect is, they probably carried a big grudge against the short people of the world. Why else, otherwise, would somebody come up with this design which allows only the tallest people to get their money from the machine?

The least this designer could have done was add a few steps. Hopefully, the hobbits never find their way to this ATM; otherwise, Bilbo and Sam would have to undertake an entirely new quest — looking for stepladders!

An Island Among Water

We’ve finally discovered the place where the heroes in half-shell disappear to! Welcome to the homes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! It’s not, though; otherwise, all teenage boys from the ’90s would be gathered around looking for Leo!

The architect behind this sewer might have given us a probable turtle location, but this is far from their best work. After all, this sewer seems to be doing everything but the job it’s supposed to.

Wrong Readings

It’s not only about looking at the designs and building precisely what’s on the plan. A good contractor should be able to use their brain and figure out when something is wrong.

Wrong Readings

What they ended up building might be technically right, but it’s still absolutely wrong. People can only move up and down this staircase if it’s fixed ASAP. Architecture fail, for sure.
