London has "the Gherkin" and "the Walkie Talkie"Amsterdam has "the Shoe"Rotterdam has "the Tetris building". What do we call our architectural wonders?

I call them melty and boring brown.
Usually to other sailors as navigation points. The other is the mini dome on the entrance to St Paul’s bay, found out it was the aquarium
fudging quad center give me chill down my spine i hate that place
Qlalet?
Carbuncles
Bent penis, orange penis, multi penis (ie. Glass digtrio)
Buildings. At least ours in London have to be like that for a reason.
Malta’s high rise buildings are reasonably sized compared to the 2nd picture to be fair. Remember it’s a desert island there werent any forests that were replaced by the buildings
Ugly monstrosity
Skyscrapers
Garbage
diglett, diglett shiny, mega dugtrio
The usual predictable responses from people in this sub who hate everything by default.
I quite like the Portomaso Tower. It’s a handy landmark to gauge direction by, it’s quite attractive by tower standards and it’s hardly in a place of outstanding beauty. I mean it’s between Spinola and Paceville. Frankly dropping a massive turd the size of an airship on that area wouldn’t make it any less attractive. The Marina right next to the tower, which probably wouldn’t exist otherwise is very nice.
Monuments to Greed
Malta looks so different now 🙁 My favourite thing about the island when I was younger was the unique and traditional architecture
Kemm teqirdu hanina. Love the buildings. Hope they build more
Qahba kemm teqirdu (and before you think i have some financial gain out of these, no i don’t and I’m not some developer shill either)
Monstrosity
Borg Khalifa
I just call them all collectively the monuments to corruption.
The quad is the biggest eyesore of them all!! Also the worst positioned smack bang in the middle of Malta!
