The number one "ugliest building in the world" is the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, Scotland, while Trump Tower in Las Vegas took the number ten spot, the report said.
In order to determine the "biggest eyesore," Buildworld focused on buildings that were previously mentioned in lists ranking the world's ugliest skyscrapers. They then searched Twitter for mentions of the buildings with keywords to focus on the public's opinion of their appearance. Using AI, they then ranked the buildings based on the percentage of negative tweets about each of them.
