Walk with views of curved architecture / Paseo con vistas de arquitectura curva

in Wednesday Walk2 days ago

Curved architecture is not something you see much nowadays, at least not in my country. There are buildings that have them, but most of them are already old, from when this trend emerged worldwide in the 50's, and of course, they are mostly in big cities.

La arquitectura con curvas no es algo que se vea mucho hoy en día, al menos en mi país. Hay edificaciones que las tienen, pero la mayoría son ya viejas, de cuando surgió esta tendencia a nivel mundial en los años 50, y claro, están más que todo en las grandes ciudades.

I have always liked architecture, especially modern architecture, like that of the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer, for example, full of curves and bold shapes. That's why, every time I come across a building that has some of those features, I spend some time looking and admiring it, and if possible I take pictures of it.

Siempre me ha gustado la arquitectura, sobre todo la moderna, como la del brasileño Oscar Niemeyer, por ejemplo, llena de curvas y formas atrevidas. Por eso, cada vez que me encuentro con un edificio que tiene alguna de esas características, paso un rato mirándolo y admirándolo, y si es posible le tomo fotos.

As I was visiting some stores this morning near a shopping mall that has a nice curvy design, I decided to stop by later to take some pictures.

Como esta mañana estuve visitando unas tiendas que quedan cerca de un centro comercial que posee un bonito diseño con curvas, decidí pasar por ahí después para hacer algunas fotos.

This shopping center called Ciudad Morichal, is not very old, it is only 25 years old, according to a sign I saw. It is quite big, and although it currently doesn't have many stores open or a large influx of people, its areas are well maintained and there is the only movie theater in the city of La Victoria (Venezuela).

Este centro comercial llamado Ciudad Morichal, no es muy viejo, tiene apenas 25 años, según un letrero que ví. Es bastante grande, y aunque actualmente no tiene muchas tiendas abiertas ni gran afluencia de gente, sus áreas están bien cuidadas y allí está el único cine de la ciudad de La Victoria (Venezuela).

Before the strong economic crisis that affected Venezuela in recent years, all the premises were occupied by stores of all kinds, and it was a very busy place. Today the area that is most active is the food fair, the supermarket and the movie theater.

Antes de la fuerte crisis económica que afectó a Venezuela en los últimos años, todos los locales estaban ocupados por tiendas de todo tipo, y era un lugar muy concurrido. Hoy en día el área que está más activa es la feria de comida, el supermercado y el cine.

But let's get back to what we came here to do: contemplate the curves of the architectural design of this place.

Pero volvamos a lo que vinimos a hacer aquí: contemplar las curvas del diseño arquitectónico de este lugar.

As you can see in the photos, the shopping center has three levels. All its external walls are covered with small decorative bricks and natural air circulates through its internal areas through circular openings.

Como ven en las fotos, el centro comercial tiene tres niveles. Todas sus paredes externas están cubiertas de pequeños ladrillos decorativos y el aire natural circula por sus áreas internas a través de unas aberturas circulares.

I walked through the corridors of the second level to take some pictures from those circular openings, I think it's interesting the view they give you.

Caminé por los pasillos del segundo nivel para tomar algunas fotos desde esas aberturas circulares, me parece interesante la vista que te dan.

Then I went down to the first level, where the gardens are, to look up and get one last shot of the curves that characterize the walls of this building. And so ended this brief architectural tour, I hope you found it entertaining 😉. See you next time!

Luego bajé al primer nivel, donde están los jardines, para mirar hacia arriba y obtener una última toma de las curvas que caracterizan las paredes de esta edificación. Y así terminó este breve paseo arquitectónico, espero les haya parecido entretenido 😉. ¡Hasta la próxima!

Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk
Have a great day

It's really a delight, isn't it?
Thank you very much for your support! 😊

Tiene un bonito diseño, lástima que la mayoría de las tiendas estén vacías 😕, ojalá los dueños se pongan las pilas para atraer inversionistas y volver a activar este centro de entretenimiento, comercio y esparcimiento.

Sí, ojalá se reactive, es un espacio con mucho potencial.
