Hosts Sarah T-M and Erin B K dive deep into all the weird and wild ways architecture can be "bad." In each episode, our hosts present two selected sites from around the globe related to a theme. Designed for death? Hotel from hell? Evil architects? Yes, yes, yes, and more! Then they wrap it up all up with a bit of "badass" architecture. It's bad, we know it.

Malice and spite and everything nice…
If “be more spiteful” was on your to-do list for 2024, we’ve got some good inspo for you in Episode 9 of Bad Architecture…SPITE HOUSES! Show your enemies your true feelings and tell them to f*ck right off –through architecture!
First, Sarah swings us out to sunny California to the Alameda Spite House, whose small footprint brought darkness (in more ways than one) upon its neighbor. Then Erin shares the story of Al Ba’sa, or “The Grudge.” No, not the horror movie from 2004, but a slim lil building in Beirut with a pretty lasting legacy all its own.
For the Bad Ass portion of the show, Sarah shares the opposite of spite with a hand-built home that’s filled with architectural and actual treasures! You’ll just have to listen to find out what it is!
***Trigger Warning: There are mentions of suicide in this episode, so please listen with care.***
