Though I would have thought that addition to Preston railway station would have won by a long shot.

I thought the rail station and power plant development were much worse, but I only saw 1 picture of each.

Here’s another angle of Preston Station that gives a little better idea of what is going on here. It really is hideous. Architect’s gonna architect, but somebody actually signed off on this.
I blame Frank Gehry. Ever since he became the god of modern architecture, everybody thinks they have to constantly reinvent the wheel. There is a famous composer named Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). He is perhaps best known for his later 12-tone writing, angular music without a central tonal focus that was a reaction to the extreme Romanticism of Richard Wagner et al. But even he said, “There is still plenty of good music to be written in C major.”
