The function of architecture must solve the material problem without forgetting the spiritual needs of man

Luis Barragan.

Hello architecture and design community, nice to greet you and wish you a happy and prosperous weekend.
This time I will share with you a building that is located in the city of Caracas, Venezuela. It is the Francia building, administrative headquarters of the National Constituent Assembly.
This building is located in the center of the capital of the country. It is a point of reference for the inhabitants of the great metropolis (Caracas).
(Caracas). It is also a very busy place due to the large number of commercial establishments located in that area.

This building is one of the most important in the entire Venezuelan territory. Its columns are vinotint colored and its walls are salmon colored. In the main entrance there is a santamaría (doors) of iron, also in both sides they have santamaría. It is worth mentioning that on the first level of this building there is a patriotic symbol, specifically the Venezuelan coat of arms.

It is worth noting that on the top of the building is the name of the National Constituent Assembly in aluminum painted iron letters. Also on the first floor. On the top level of the building there is a bronze-colored metal orchid. In addition, on each column of the top level there are poles with lanterns to illuminate the space in order to beautify the place.It is a building with a large number of aluminum windows in the shape of a rectangle with glass bars. This building has 6 levels with first floor and townhouse. It has an emergency exit staircase. In the internal part there is a main elevator. In addition, its structure is made of reinforced steel portico with concrete and its walls are made of blocks, with cement frieze and the floor is ceramic.

In this tour, in addition to the national assembly, other buildings can be seen that caught my attention for their design and architecture, such as the one located next to it. This building is also well known by the people of Caracas since it houses the Bolivar Theater.

The walls in the upper part of the theater are vinotint colored and in that last level is the identification of the place with aluminum colored letters and four LED lamps to decorate the theater.
One of the characteristics that I liked about the theater is the windows that it has from level one to the penultimate floor.

A building I also really liked was one with deep red walls with ivory window surrounds and ivory doors. This color combination looks very striking. This one has wooden doors and windows. On level one the windows are rectangle shaped with wrought iron balconies. The windows on the first floor have wrought iron tiles. It is a one story building and on one of the sides it has a plaque or coat of arms.
In this tour of Caracas, the fast city as it is also known, I show you several buildings of great relevance not only for its history but also for its architectural design. Caracas is a wonderful place where the old and the modern mix. See you in the next tour and may God bless you with lots of health and peace.
