Ugly, ridiculous, impractical buildings that you still think are awesome

This thread needs to be zombied for its absolutely egregious omission of the Geisel Library at the University of San Diego. (heh - essentially the first building you see when entering “brutalist architecture” in google)

That building looks like nothing Dr. Seuss ever drew. If they’re going to name it after him it ought to be rounded, sloppy, and organic-looking, as if it grew somehow and then got left out in the sun and softened and melted.

Perhaps the best example of real life Seussian architecture is at Las Pozas:
