There is a bank near my house that has a façade second floor. It makes no attempt to look real from any angle, not from the street nor the parking lot. You can see right through the oversized glassless windows into the sky, beyond that the entire thing is wavy in an unpleasant way. It doesn’t even fit with the style of the rest of the building. My suspicion is it exists almost as a critique of the idea of façades? It’s the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

This is in my opinion the source of a lot of ugliness in our environment - reactionary design. Things designed not outright for function or purpose or hell even aesthetics. Things designed in reaction to previous trends. Soulless mocking critique.
