With the nominees variously described as "a deadening cake" and having been designed by "colour blind architects", the six buildings up for the Carbuncle Cup are truly a sight for sore eyes.

Every year since 2006, the architects' newspaper Building Design has been awarding the Carbuncle Cup, the award for Britain’s worst new building.

Previous winners have included the Walkie Talkie tower in the City of London, MediaCity UK in Salford, and Strata SEI in south London.
