Not really. I grew up there and most of the city is residential neighborhoods surrounding a downtown that has been getting renovated and updated for the past twenty years or so. In terms of particularly photogenic places there are:
* Vulcan
* The Kirklin Clinic (designed by IM Pei, his first design I believe)
* The County Courthouse
* 16th Street Baptist Church
* Various venues along Birmingham's freedom trail
* All of the pioneer churches have pretty unique architecture.
* Railroad Park
* Five Points South
Even Sloss Furnace is a pretty photogenic ruin. Also Woodlawn, where I grew up, has seen a lot of love. I remember when it smelled like piss on 1st avenue but now it just smells like outside. And tbh I've yet to see a biker gang with an assless chaps dress code so I'm not quite sure what you saw as apocalyptic.
