This week the UK's worst new building was revealed
This week on Dezeen, the redevelopment of Lime Street in Liverpool was named the winner of the Carbuncle Cup, dedicated to finding the UK's worst building.
The retail, hotel and student accommodation development by British studio Broadway Malyan was named the winner of the prize, revived this year by UK magazine The Fence after not being run since 2018.
"From the very first viewing, two of our panel had this as their number one selection, and as the longlist was narrowed to a shortlist, this hideous bit of architectural misadventure continued to stick out," said The Fence in the award announcement.
In other architecture news, photos were revealed of a Tadao Ando house in Malibu, California, after it was gutted by musician Ye – formerly known as Kanye West.
The musician removed the windows, kitchen, marble-clad bathrooms, concrete hot tub and indoor fireplace from the house, which is now for sale.
