年度建筑选“丑”,你见过吗?| Annual China Ugliest Building Survey is Underway

近日，网友们正火热地评选着中国年度建筑，但不是“选美”，而是“选丑”？

目前暂时票选排在第一位的是浙江大学紫金港校区的校门。对于上榜的理由，网友们的答案五花八门，比如建筑和周边的环境极度不相衬、建筑的功能完全不合理、盲目模仿国外及古式建筑等等。网友票选后会由著名建筑师、设计师等专业人士组成的评审团从候选建筑中评选出最终前十名。

Cast your ballot now for the 12th edition of the annual Ugliest China Building Survey held by the Chinese architecture site archcy.com.

Almost 90 entries that span skyscrapers, museums, hotels, sports facilities and more are fair game for voters to weigh in on until December.

Netizens can select multiple reasons for their reasoning behind their choices, including ‘eclectic patchwork,’ ‘extremely inharmonious with the surrounding environment and conditions,’ ‘plagiarism,’ ‘blindly worshiping foreign and historic buildings,’ ‘extremely unreasonable building function,’ ‘deliberately symbolic,’ ‘weird and vulgar’ and ‘intentionally unfeasible.’ 

After polling closes, a panel of architects, critics and academics will judge the top 10 ugliest structures. 

As of press time, the current ‘ugliest’ building that takes the number one spot is the South Gate of Zijingang Campus, Zhejiang University. One commenter wrote:

In second place is the Glass Bridge Tower of Jiuhuangshan Mountain in Sichuan. Netizens have described these larger-than-life statues wearing traditional costumes as ‘creepy.’

The second runner-up is the Violin Church in Foshan, Guangdong, which cost more than RMB2 million. The spot has become a bit of a touristy wanghong destination, which has taken away the attention from the surrounding historic buildings.
