The steel construction came fifth in a pole, which ranked the Tour Montparnesse  in Paris the ugliest landmark, followed by La Piramide  in Alicante and the Kuhsthaus Graz  in Austria.

Completing the worst five is the Walkie Talkie building in London.

They include "Stiletto in the Ghetto" and, simply, "The Spike".
