8. The Female Genitalia – Qatar’s World Cup Stadium, Qatar
Appropriately, we include the second most common human body part found in buildings, the vagina. This building didn’t win a contest like the “brick dick” mentioned before, but search the internet for buildings shaped like a vagina and this one appears all the time, as such it is certified by google search as being number one. When the architect, Zaha Hadid, released the design a few years back, headlines that sounded like a chorus of giggling Beavis and Butt-Heads all agreed: Qatar’s World Cup 2022 Stadium Looks Like A Vagina. AECOM, the firm handling the construction, said that the stadium was inspired by “the dhow boat that carried generations of local fishermen and pearl divers.” They insist its resemblance to genitalia was accidental, but was it really? Like so many other gender inequalities, the world has more Penis Shaped buildings than Vagina shaped buildings, but just look at many modern stadiums, airports etc.. and you’ll agree that this is about to change.
