An ironic tourist view of the Hambi coal mine in Germany. The NRW company, in a good act of faith to compensate for the destruction of an ancient forest and ancient towns, built several viewpoints with cafes from which to watch the enormous monstrous machines gutting the earth in search of coal.

Architectural aberration in the center of Vigo, Puerta del Sol. In the area, which is surrounded by granite constructions, they placed two black, square columns, and at the top a metal figure known as the Mermaid (male) that does not They fit into place. The structure generated great controversy in the city, a controversy that lasted for weeks and that some welcomed with joy as it was one of the few occasions in which the people of Vigo debated artistic issues in public.
The architect José Bar Boo, for his part, rejected the sculpture and its location. After pointing out that it was “absolutely stupid,” he argued that “a public monument is not, and can never be, something that is left to the discretion of the sculptor, because it is architecture.”

Archs in the harbour of Tazacorte. A port without ships after an investment of 50 million euros. More than two years after the inauguration of the expansion, the reality is that there is a facility without activity that offers a desolate image, without boats.
Two years after the expansion was inaugurated (2015), neither cruise ships, nor passenger traffic, nor cargo, to transport the banana, because the shipping companies do not dock there.

From the nature protection department in the Cascais Chamber where this area corresponds, they stated that they have no idea who nailed the electronic scrap to the tree, but according to neighbors and workers from several cafes they say that it was the owner of one of the bars to attract customers' attention. An urban aberration in an international tourism area that is very environmentally conscious.

The wave of immigration to Britain from Asia and Africa encountered a wall in crossing the English Channel. Thousands of people arriving from countries at war and famine made long and painful journeys to the gates of British and European paradise. For the French authorities it posed a serious problem and created refugee camps with hardly any sanitary or hygienic facilities, a place of waiting that lasted weeks and months..

People or firms run out of money when building because they underestimated the budget or have since gone bankrupt. Sometimes, members of the diaspora build homes but send money to builders slowly (after each pay check) and so the process of construction is elongated. Othertimes, families might build an extra floor on their home for their sons or daughters and it is normally seen as a long term project. Basically, they’ll finish it slowly as and when money is available.Because Cyprus is usually hot and dry, you don't have to worry too much about heavy rain, so many use the building site as a large balcony until it is complete.

The ING bank building is a fortress in the middle of the European quarter. Close to the place there is a small green area as a park, closed now due to reforms. In the last years, the park have been a renamed as rats park, due to the many rats running and walking by the grass and between the users. Inside the area is an installation made by plastic or polierutano where once inside there is any noise, mostly from cars.
Gioconda forgotten under a tree. A photographic replica of the famous canvas, abandoned on the street to be taken away by the garbage truck and collected and adopted by a family in their garden. Wild consumerism in many cities around the world is one of the big problems against planned obsolescence. Buy, throw away, buy again and generate garbage that is left on the streets, such as those of the commune of Ixelles, the European neighborhood, where money flows without problem and where it is easier to abandon objects of enormous value, Ikea furniture new ones, mainly due to the great mobility of ex-pats and officials of the European Commission.

The real estate bubble had a strong impact on the island of Fuerteventura. Abandoned hotels and other attacks against nature, ruins that are already integrated into the landscape. This is how the crisis hit some unique landscapes on the island, where more infrastructure than necessary began to be built with a purely business vision.
The brick scandal in Spain and urban speculation left a destructive environmental impact on the environment. In Fuerteventura, hotels were built in protected places, the island being a biosphere reserve. The concrete skeletons are all over the island, it is a clear Anthropization of the landscape.

Art installation in an area of ruined houses. Baltics. Artists, supported or not by political organizations, take advantage of vacant urban spaces to make temporary installations and thus show another form of occupation of the territory to avoid the ugliness of the ruins of plots where speculation has not yet arrived.
Urban vandalism appropriates real estate in cities to destroy everyone's landscape. This is the case of the bus stops in the Ixelles neighborhood, Brussels, painted that do not respond to any artistic idea and made with a material that is very difficult to erase and that will ultimately be paid for with public money.
Regional bus stop covered by the natural undergrowth of the area, on a road.
The golden mile, Toison d'Or, Brussels, where big brands look for land to build buildings to locate their stores. In the image, the work where Zara, Apple and other companies that generate millions of euros in the global consumerism market are currently located.
Street artist Banksy created the graffiti design on a wall in the the Calais, France, “Jungle camp”. It shows Steve Jobs, the son of Syrian migrants, with an early Apple design. Over the design, someone has now painted the lettering 'London Calling'. Calais council had pledged to preserve Banksy's work from vandalism.
A bed mattress and a teddy bear abandoned as trash in the old city of Barcelona. On the mattress, a neighbor left a note asking him to leave the public space.
The playing spaces in the cities where we got to the ground where they were before the valleys or the rocks. Municipal policies depend on protecting the environment and recovering space for space and maintaining the quality of life, protecting the cement that invades green areas.
A fishing boat that once sailed the great seas was installed in a traffic roundabout, which led to a neighborhood protest denounced as ugly and unnecessary. Against the will of the neighborhood, the mayor carried out this aberration of the urban landscape by removing the ship from the sea (where it should be or in a museum) committing a great environmental impact on the environment. A tribute to the fishermen is always deserved and honorable, but when a politician does not listen to the people he stops being a good politician.
Indiscriminate felling of trees by order of the mayor. Located on a central street in the city of Vigo, and based on the fact that the leaves of the trees were bothering some neighbors (not proven), the city council ordered to cut down all the trees to build a metal frame in the middle of the median. which escalators were installed to serve El Corte Inglés, a large shopping area. Despite citizen protests, and some arrests and fines, the work was carried out and caused an urban aberration with a great environmental impact.
