48 inevitable design disasters

There is truly an art involved in constructing homes, buildings, and other architectural designs that you see around you. However, there can also be perilous designs that will make you wonder what the builders were thinking. Probably, it wasn’t an intention to get it done that way, or perhaps the workers just really messed with the architect or engineer’s plans.

Take a look at these designs needing extra sharp eyes if one passes or goes through them.

1. Dead End

Well, this could turn into a dead end, literally, if an emergency comes up.

2. Roof Playground

Wow, that’s a playground experience to remember- if you make it out of there alive that is.

3. You Can Do It

This combination of stairs and ramp wants to make you believe you can walk, and you will. If you don’t, there’s no way out anyway.

4. Evil Plan

The person who designed the staircase had an evil plan in mind for sure. Let’s hope noone gets hurt.

5. But, Why?

Really, why would someone paint a tunnel on a wall? The driver of this car was lucky he didn’t get hurt.

6. Camouflage

The person who designed this deserves an award- or a lawsuit. What do you think?

7. Drive With Caution

Well, the reflective sign could help, but, really, a pole on the very lane?

8. Balancing Skills

We can’t imagine how skilled a cyclist should be in order to ride this close to the river. Apparently someone finds it very easy.

9. You Had One Job

This is hilarious, but it also makes you wonder if the person putting up the signs was drunk.

10. Living Dangerously

Seriously? A faucet over an electricity socket? This looks like a trap.

11. Comfy

How do you like these comfy benches? They come with nice prickly pillows too!

12. Irony At Its Best

Seriously though? Who would put such a sign in the middle of the bike lane?

13. Very Bad Idea

This was a very bad idea! Or it was made for really short people- who knows!

14. Ouch!

Well, we guess the belconies are reserved for special, probably annoying, guests.

15. Light At The End Of The Tunnel

We’re wondering how many car crashes it’s going to take before this mural is removed.

16. What Kind Of Sorcery Is That?

How is this even possible? Is this an apocalyptic sign?

17. When Disability Needs Extreme-Sport Skills

Isn’t this too steep a ramp? And what’s with the plant at the end of it?

18. Oops!

When all you need to do is install a traffic light, and it ends up like this. Well, at least they tried.

19. Stairway To Heaven

We don’t know where these stairs lead, but we hope it’s worth the effort- although it probably isn’t.

20. Brace Yourselves

That’s the only thing you can do in case of emergency, because the fire extinctor is not an option.

21. Modern Art

Knowing that this is found in a design school, we really can’t think what it symbolizes.

22. Only At Uni

How far would you go in order to charge your phone? These sockets are here to test your limits.

23. Are You Sure You’re An Engineer?

We’d love to meet the engineer behind this unique building. Much as we appreciate it as a piece of art, we wouldn’t dare stay in there.

24. There We Go Again

One more instance of pure hate against cyclists- why would they do this?

25. Out Of Service

This picture only makes sense if the tracks are out of service- let’s hope they are.

26. Out Of Order

Imagine enjoying your lunch and having someone land on your table from… above!

27. Not A Kid Fan

Whoever designed this slide- and probably the whole playground- doesn’t seem to love kids.

28. Uh-oh!

Well, you’ll have some trouble trying to park your car there, but you can easily park two motorbikes, right? There’s always a silver lining.

29. Are You Sure This Is The Emergency Exit?

Whatever you do, don’t go for the emergency exit in this building- no chance to survive.

30. Secret Door

We bet this is where the professor goes and peeps into the classroom when he pretends to be leaving for a minute.

31. Let’s Play A Game

The designer apparently had in mind that those who go left will have the privilege of doing the limbo dance every time!

32. Once Again

Same as the previous pole on the road, only this time worse: it’s right in the middle of the lane!

33. What?

We bet they first installed the fire alarm and then they decided this was a good spot to place the claw game without even considering this may result in the whole building burning down sometime.

34. Parking Meter

We’re wondering who was the genius who installed the parking meter right there. As if there wasn’t enough sidewalk space.

35. Save Room For The Tree

When you’re not sure if it’s more important to cater for the needs of the disabled or to save a tree. Win-win, or maybe not?

36. Nooo!

We hope this lady turned her head to look outside before stepping out of the car.

37. Comes With A Garage

We hope whoever rented the place went to see it first, because one thing is for sure- you can park nothing in that garage.

38. Spot The Mistake

Oh, come on, the step is there to make sure you stop at some point. Don’t be a drama queen!

39. Too Dangerous

Not only is this ramp steep, but it also gets bumpy at the end of it. Seriously, people?

40. Huh?

Is this another way to say “you have arrived at your destination”? Probably not.
