The Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has been ranked the 10th-ugliest building in the entire world. That\u2019s the entire world,<\/em> which most likely contains billions of buildings.<\/em> The list was published on the website of Buildworld, a British home improvement company.<\/p>\n

\"Trump
One thing the Trump International Hotel \u2013 which, at 622 feet, towers over the adjacent Fashion Show Mall \u2013 has never been accused of is not being noticeable. (Image: Wikipedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Trump International Hotel is a shiny gold brick of a skyscraper built with 64 stories and, curiously, no casino \u2013 though Donald Trump still held a casino license at the time.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time its aesthetic has been publicly derided. Comedian Rita Rudner \u2013 who performed at Harrah\u2019s while the Trump International was under construction across the street in 2007 \u2013 joked in her act that the building should be topped off with a blond toupee. And, in\u00a02018, Architectural Digest<\/em> ranked the Trump International Hotel 28th among the world\u2019s ugliest 29 skyscrapers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot everything beautiful needs to flash like gold,\u201d the design bible wrote. \u201cThe Trump Tower in Las Vegas is a perfect example of that. Completed in 2008, the 620-foot-tall structure is an eyesore even in a city filled with over-the-top architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buildworld actually figured this ranking into its ranking, admitting that it started with a seed list of buildings derided as ugly by Architectural Digest<\/em> or the UK\u2019s Carbuncle Cup architectural anti-prize. Then, it searched Twitter for keywords reflecting chatter about building design. According to its analysis, 17.39% of tweets regarding the Trump International Hotel\u2019s design were negative.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the structure ranked by Buildworld as the world\u2019s ugliest \u2014 the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, Scotland \u2014 had 42.07% negative comments. The J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, DC \u2013 ranked America\u2019s ugliest and the world\u2019s second-ugliest building \u2013 had 37.84% negative comments. (The Trump International Hotel was ranked the sixth-ugliest building in the US.)<\/p>\n

Buildworld provided the following justification for publishing its list: \u201cWhen a building turns out ugly, it\u2019s the passersby who pay the price \u2014 locals and tourists alike. You can\u2019t hide an ugly building. Instead, divisive architecture calls attention to itself daily, fueling debate, mocking its critics with its immovability, and stirring the souls of those brave outsiders who dare to say, ‘Perhaps this building is special?’\u201d<\/p>\n

No other Las Vegas buildings made Buildworld’s list, which may surprise former Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. While engaged in a city-vs.-city feud last April over the eventual home of the Oakland A\u2019s \u2013 a question that still has yet to be answered \u2013 Schaff said Las Vegas has \u201csome pretty tacky architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
