The catalog of horrors

This is my hit parade. No, the music has nothing to do. It
My personal catalog of horrors , that is all that I never wanted to see and, unfortunately, I have seen (and forgotten).

5th place
post-modern villa with the main facade consists of pseudo greek pediment with a lot of circular portholes in the middle (it was probably the bathroom window) and copper roofing. Unfortunately this is a very popular genre in our suburbs.

4th place
The "home with chicken pox" in the words of my professor of restoration, or those "lovely & graceful" windows cut into the plaster of the humble dwellings of the old town (or noble residences) to expose the exhaust arches, lintels, blocks of stone to reinforce the corners and so on: it is useless to explain how to make a window in the plaster of a building 70 to showcase the concrete pillar.


3 ° PLACE
a must in the pseudo-rustic rustic pizza, especially when placed in the industrial area of \u200b\u200bthe city in very modern buildings: the fake floor / ceiling of wood (if all goes well with wooden beams, if it goes wrong beams with plastic). In one case, the "beams" were fixed to the wall is very evident with anchors, leaving at least two fingers of space between the head and the wall pseudotrave. When friends tell me: did you see that there is beautiful wooden ceiling eh?, usually I go across the pizza.

2ND PLACE
chains (the ones that sell hardware store in the metro, just for instance, and which are usually used to block the driveways and moor vessels) in place of gutters. The chain in question down to a sort of shelter (?) Projecting in the width of about one meter. The house was a second home in the sea in that of Grosseto, in style rather rationalist style Waterfall House economic version. Unfortunately I am not able to see the chain-gutters at work because it was not raining, but the existential question remains: will we live the descendant of an Executioner of the Bastille, which has recycled tools of his ancestors, or the scrap dealer's cousin gave a gift?

1st place
postmodern building with a facade constructed from glass and smoked over each "window" (ie a sheet of glass and two not, the board) a kind of small drum pseudodorico unidentified material. I shudder at the mere memory.

short, if our houses could talk, as he put an advertisement a few years ago ...
