Entry to Shadow Hunters Contest Round 388 - A Brutalist Shadow / Una Sombra Brutalista
English Version
A Brutalist Shadow
Architecture, in its unstoppable advance, always seeks to keep pace with new trends in order to develop avant-garde and functional spaces that set milestones and become indisputable references for the progress of a society whose pace is unstoppable. This is how we find structural models around the world that respond to a particular era or geographical region, making them easily recognizable while also telling a story that blends art, design, and engineering.

Una Sombra Brutalista
La arquitectura, en su avance indetenible, siempre busca ir de la mano de las nuevas tendencias, para esta forma desarrollar espacios vanguardistas y funcionales, que marquen hitos y se configuren como referencias indiscutibles del avance de una sociedad cuyo ritmo es indetenible. Es así como alrededor del mundo nos encontramos con modelos estructurales que responden a una época o a una región geográfica, con lo cual son fácilmente reconocibles y al mismo tiempo nos narran una historia en donde se mezcla el arte, y el diseño y la ingeniería.
Caracas is a capital city that has established itself as a benchmark in regional architecture. It is here that different trends have found a meeting place, a showcase that displays grandeur, development, and solidity. But amid a melting pot of designs and forms, brutalist architecture found the ideal space to develop and grow in these lands, giving us firm and powerful structures where concrete is the protagonist. Despite its thickness and coldness, here they have found a way to dose it, fill it with life, and at the same time make it an essential part of our lives. But best of all, these designs are accompanied by deep, well-defined, dark, linear shadows that mark boundaries and define environments.
Caracas es una capital que se consolida como un referente en la arquitectura regional, es aquí en donde las diferentes tendencias han encontrado un espacio de encuentro, una vitrina que expone grandeza, desarrollo y solidez. Pero en medio de un crisol de diseños y formas, la arquitectura brutalista encontró en estas tierras el espacio ideal para desarrollarse y crecer, regalándonos estructuras firmes y poderosas, en donde el concreto es el protagonista y a pesar de su grosor y frialdad acá han encontrado la forma de dosificarlo, llenarlo de vida y al mismo tiempo volverlo parte esencial de nuestras vidas. Pero lo mejor de todo es que estos diseños vienen acompañados de unas sombras profundas, bien definidas, oscuras, lineales, las cuales marcan fronteras y al mismo tiempo definen entornos.

@sagarkothari88 Hello, my friend, thank you very much for your comment and for those pizzas!😉 It's true that those touches of green give the design a lighter and livelier feel, which takes away the coldness of the concrete and gives us a much friendlier atmosphere.
