Gherkin, by Foster.
The iconic Swiss Re office building of Norman Foster, Foster and Partners, in London city has the incidental iconography of a gherkin. If you type the word ‘gherkin’ on Google Images you have a hard time finding a picture of a real gherkin between all the images of the Swiss Re building. The metaphor takes over the original.

This hotel building in Pyongyang is just ugly, period.
Even this building, the main building of Moscow State University:
looks way better in comparison.

I vote for the Water Tower in Ypsilanti, MI. I think it's embarrassing, actually.
