Brutalist with the ugly bumpy concrete has to be the hands down winner of worst style.

But I also dislike ranch houses. Hatted roofs with low rooflines, flat unadorned fronts, uninteresting porches, nothing but exterior yuck. Also I've noticed that like for the 50% of them have a roof joint creating a secondary roof, the joint ends over the front door, which dumps rainwater right onto the front porch. This makes them uninteresting for passers-by and hostile to the owners.

Romantic nationalism.
I am not sure if that is the correct english term.....

I don't like Antoni Gaudi's style of architecture at all. It looks crazy, to me. I just don't get the appeal of it.

I was lucky enough to take a tour of the attic of Casa Mila. This especially, but most of Gaudi's architecture seems like it belongs in a Tim Burton movie, IMO. (to me, that's a good thing
