WOW! 😲 Are we in dreamland @doriangel? The boulevard of Heroines looks surreal, probably because of its interesting mix of architectural styles and most especially its vibrant hues! The entire landscape is a peculiar fusion of eclectic design but what caught my attention the most are the rustic and colonial facades with a bright saturation of colors, reminding me of traditional Mexican architecture. 👍😊
What particular building there do you think has the most intricate process of construction and structural frameworks?
Yes, it is full of color and that architectural mix gives life to its streets and combines very well with the environment. Mexico is one of the countries that I would like to visit, but I have managed to see through photographs or on television that it has stupendous architecture. In Mexico, there is also a city called Mérida, even here there is a small square called the three Méridas, where they represent these three cities distributed in the world, which have the same name, by the way it is a bit deteriorated.
What a great question, it's hard for me to pick one, because I think they all take a lot of hard work to build. For example, Cheo's restaurant has a façade full of natural details with wooden beams and clay, achieving this must have been a great job. I am not sure how the mezzanines are built, but it seems that the entire structural framework is made of wood and that is a more complicated construction process than using steel profiles, from my point of view.
On the other hand, there are those covered in stone, this coating also takes work, looking for these slabs in the rivers, the polishing and preparation process, transportation and hauling, and the patience to install them.
And we have the most traditional, with a higher number of floors, surely an elevator inside, heavier and larger, which were surely built under the premise of a structural calculation, with more advanced and planned construction technologies, compared to the previous ones, such as the use of metallic structures and mezzanine slabs, easier to carry out, such as steel ones, but I am almost sure that more attention was paid in these from the structural and spatial point of view. It would be nice to have the opportunity and get to know its interior.
Thank you very much for the support and have a great weekend. Blessings @storiesoferne 😊
Excellent review and choice @doriangel. Your valuable insights make a lot of sense. And since you have an engineering background, it would be quite a breeze for you to decipher and explain architectural stories and technical information that you've encountered. Thank you for this incredible contribution and keep up the fascinating features of architecture. Have a safe, productive, and blessed one! 😊👍
