Steve was by himself today in front of the classroom. "Hello, everyone. Last week's truck debacle got Tony working on a new line of better, less hideous trucks, and so he sends his regrets today because he's in a meeting with his company's board and the Pentagon working out a contract for production."

He let out a soft chuckle and shook his head. "Today's lesson is about ugly architecture. I hope he won't spend this coming week redesigning the New York skyline by purchasing and demolishing ugly skyscrapers. We'll start with these ten," he said, starting the projection. "Tell me which you dislike the most and why. We'll also get into a handwavy discussion of the brutalist architecture movement, otherwise known as 'gee, that's a lot of ugly concrete.' You'll recognize the style in pretty much every office building made in the 1960s. The FBI building in this slide presentation is a prime example."

And just. Just so ugly.

"So, yes, which one is your least favorite and would fixing it include a wrecking ball? Go!"
