People from around the world have taken to Reddit to share the shocking design fails they’ve spotted. Some of the most hilarious examples include:
- Uneven steps dubbed ‘ankle breaker’ stairs
- A row of houses in Mönchengladbach, Germany, with different shapes, designs, and colors
- An awkward renovation of a 500-year-old castle in Glasgow
- A public toilet raised over a meter above the ground
- The College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University in Indiana, which ran out of space for its sign due to, ironically, bad planning and design
‘Ankle breaker’ stairs and wonky houses
One person posted a picture of steps which were so uneven they were dubbed ‘ankle breaker’ stairs. Meanwhile, a row of houses in Mönchengladbach, Germany, looked out of place because each one had a different shape, design and colour.
Awkward castle renovation and public toilet in the sky
Elsewhere an awkward renovation of a 500-year-old castle in Glasgow was executed so badly that it’s hard to look at.
And one public toilet was raised over a metre above the ground making it a nightmare for people to use.
College of Architecture and Planning runs out of space for sign
Ironically, the College of Architecture and Planning at the Ball State University, in Indiana, ran out of space for the sign due to, ironically, bad planning and design.
Conclusion:
These are just a few examples of the many design fails that can be found around the world.
It’s a reminder that even the best-laid plans can go awry, and that even the most qualified professionals can make mistakes.
