That’s why it’s certainly alarming when buildings look terribly poorly built, like these. Strange architecture fails around the world compiled by bored panda.
They include a terrifying bathroom experience, where a builder placed the toilet in an old elevator shaft and used a glass floor, offering no privacy.

Another architect, in Amsterdam, created colorful wooden houses that look like something out of a cartoon.
The Shanghai Metro decided to keep things interesting by completely ignoring public safety with its strange handrail.
