Writes Rushfield: Nominees will be reviewed by a panel of certified experts in the fields of architecture and ugliness. They will be judged on faithfulness to the broad spectrum of ugliness. Winners will be announced in Issue 4, due out in July.
If you would like to nominate your favorite ugly building in LA, please send us its street address and a brief description of the building, describing the various aspects of its special ugliness.
I wouldn't even know where to begin. L.A. obviously has no shortage of ugly buildings, especially as you travel west. Of course, my vote for oddest building would have to go to the postmodern Kentucky Fried Chicken (er, "KFC") at 340 N. Western (1991, Grinstein, J. Daniels):
I dig this building; not sure why, but it's such a spectacle, I sometimes drive down Western on the way to work just to pass by it.
As for your ugly picks, send your nominees to: editor@lainnuendo.com.
