- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -8/+71A wee bit of an eyesore dontcha think
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -5/+65so when real aliens stop by they'll go:
"aww, looks like they're already being invaded, let's try the next planet" - orangekid13, on 03/07/2008, -2/+57looks a lot more like an udder
- mykalimba, on 03/07/2008, -2/+44Utter failure.
- ijacker, on 03/07/2008, -3/+44i'd be ***** pissed if they built that next to my house!
- Nidy1, on 03/07/2008, -0/+37What are you guys talking about? All I see is a weather balloon.
- MonarchWastxD, on 03/07/2008, -7/+39It's terrible. There is beautiful architecture surrounding ruined by a monstrosity.
- crapuccino, on 03/07/2008, -1/+27It looks like a tumour.

Kunsthaus - Graz (Graz Art Museum) was built as part of the European Capital of Culture celebrations in 2003 and has since become an architectural landmark in Graz, Austria.
Its unusual architecture differs radically from conventional buildings, many of which maintain the traditions of the modernist "White Cube". The team of architects used an innovative stylistic idiom, known as blob architecture within the historical ambiance of the "Murvorstadt". Thus, the gigantic building called the "Friendly Alien" by its creators Peter Cook and Colin Fournier, in form and material, stands out against the surrounding baroque roof landscape with its red clay roofing tiles but nevertheless integrates the façade of the 1847 iron house.
Teh picture was taken from the castle mountain ("Burgberg").

- lintmonkey, on 03/07/2008, -2/+23"It's not a tumah!"
- djepik, on 03/07/2008, -0/+20"Stands out" may be a bit of an understatement...
- CitizenKane, on 03/07/2008, -2/+22I like to see outside.
- asnider, on 03/07/2008, -0/+19It's the perfect decoy to protect the planet.
- orangekid13, on 03/07/2008, -12/+31you can just watch the property values around it drop
- mattmy, on 03/07/2008, -3/+21That's hideous.
- chrissku, on 03/07/2008, -0/+14At first I did not see what the big deal was with this picture....then it hit me....that yellow house doesn't belong with the rest of the neighborhood.
- AmishRefugee, on 03/07/2008, -1/+12This is what happens when Will Wright designs buildings
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11An utter what?
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -1/+11yah, so that doesn't look out of place or anything. Almost a sesame street 'one of these things is not like the other' game.
- dsenman, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10How did that ever get approved? We have heritage groups that oppose any office building over 7 stories high... and they can build a space craft. No fair. I'd love to have me one of those.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -2/+12I like to see inside.
- the1danimal, on 03/07/2008, -2/+12wtf
- aparatoc, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9I like to see side
- Mr.Gone, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9AKA The International House of Sick German Nipple Fetishes
- MadEnvoy, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9I like to see insides outside.
- Tgg161, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8Check out North Adams, MA -- a small, depressed industrial town in western Mass. They set up a modern art museum and it saved the town.
- AlexanderBlue, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8I normally like modern architecture... but OMG is that ugly!
- threemagic, on 03/07/2008, -2/+9Looking at the pic, I'm not sure that's possible
- nutzngum, on 03/07/2008, -1/+8sigh.
http://www.designbuild-network.com/projects/sharpe ... - lunachique, on 03/07/2008, -0/+7I wonder how many horny octopi they have to knock off the side of that building.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6The aliens have landed...and they have energy efficient windows!
- MysticalMrBiggZ, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6Scientologies secret hide out has been found! I knew those guys were from another planet!
- spiritditch, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6goto is bad form. Try rewriting that sentence with a loop or a separate function.
- Sinestro, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6That title is not fair... for a split second, i thought it had finally happened
- tomlasusa, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I for one welcome our glass-encased, multi-teeted overlords.
- jax1492, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5its europe they have class and no red tape
- Fracture98, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Yeah. Look how it keeps the ducks away.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Apparently in Europe they don't have town boards that prevent stuff from being built that completely doesn't fit with the decor of the town. That's a nice-looking town with some good-looking architecture and it's crazy that the people would let someone put that ***** thing up right in the middle of it all. I mean *****....where I'm from in NJ you can't put a cell-phone tower unless you disguise it as a tree or a flagpole....you can't put up a Wal-Mart unless the building fits in with the local architecture....
- petebot, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Stay in the suburbs, then.
- edwartica, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5I like to wear tight leather pants while yelling about the price of milk and bread and mathematical constants. Wait.....
- jgrommersch, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5http://www.kunsthausgraz.steiermark.at/cms/beitrag ...
There you go - Aidje, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Mathematical constants cost money now? I'd be yelling too.
- billyfalconer, on 03/07/2008, -3/+7I think the opposite.
- Fracture98, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4I had Torchwood. Antibiotics cleared it right up.
- Hetman, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4It looks like a giant french tickler. Are we being attacked by the 50 ft women from outerspace again?
- cobophers, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Looks like 4th grade art class to me
- YodaJones, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Seaslugzilla invades Austria?
