Glasgow is a truly beautiful city, home to stunning architecture ranging from Gothic to Victorian and everywhere in between - although it must be said, there really is some strange, weird, and downright odd looking buildings in our city.
While we have some incredibly intricate works of art like the Kelvingrove Museum and the City Chambers, we also have some real ‘unique’ buildings like Tay House and the Spectrum building.
Walking around Glasgow you can tell that the city has long been a home of engineering and architecture - you can’t walk ten steps in the city centre without coming across a new historic and architecturally significant site - while other sites have you question why they were ever built in the first place.
So we gathered a list of seven of the most odd, puzzling, and ugly buildings in Glasgow, here it is:

1. The Savoy Centre
Possibly the most visible example of brutalism in Glasgow - The Savoy Centre in the city centre is well-loved, even if it is a little bit ugly. | Contributed

2. The Spectrum
The Spectrum office building is particularly unpleasant to look at on a sunny day (not that we get many of them) - as it reflects the sun into the eyes of pedestrians passing the building that looks like it’s been wrapped in tinfoil. | Google Maps

3. The BT office
The BT office that sits on Broomielaw has a very grey, early noughties retro vibe to it - which while very clean and inoffensive - isn’t the best representation of Glasgow for those arriving in the city. Thankfully BT have announced plans for a multi-million pound makeover for the building. | Google Maps

4. BHS building
The abandoned BHS building on Sauchiehall Street makes the struggling city centre street look even more dismal - it’s unfortunate that the fires lighting up the area over the last few years have missed this block of the street, | Google Maps
