2. The Pair Of Pants, Gate Of The Orient Building, Suzhou, China
Local bystanders raged that “It’s just a big pair of pants!”, once the legs were joined together by what appears to be a crotch in 2012. The 74 story office tower has been declared the largest gateway building in the world and perhaps it should also take the record for the world’s largest pair of pants. The building even has feet. Designed by British firm RMJM, the building has been declared “humiliating” by some locals, who say walking through its gaping arch is “like being forced to crawl between someone else’s legs.” Buildings like this angered the Chinese government so much, that earlier this year, they banned eccentric construction projects such as this one. It’s too bad.
