So many of the good ideas of the 1960s weren't all that good. Many of the domes A-frames and contemporary designs are now abandoned: too difficult to work with or they leaked or were just uncomfortable to live in. Here are a few pictures that underscore the idea of architectural failures from the past. First is this dome in Arizona.
Next is a water park in Russia.
An abandoned apartment complex in Taipei.
And the Grandaddy of all fails, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Waters which leaks like a sieve and is falling apart because of the stresses inherent in the design.
