Another example:

cna (04:37:20 PM): lets talk first of ig's
jak (04:37:50 PM): all these buildings are no more then 6 story
ig (04:37:55 PM): all of the buildings have rhythm in the facades. One of them with balconies, the other with horizontal bands, etc.
jak(04:38:00 PM): uupppsss ... than
cna (04:38:18 PM): and something very similar also is the use of wrought iron with organical shapes
jak(04:38:21 PM): yeap, i`ve seen that
jak (04:38:41 PM): (happy face)
cna(04:39:17 PM): Ig in yours theres an intention of art noveau with the use of this material right?
ig(04:40:05 PM): that is correct. the architect use a lot of decoration like in the art noveau did it.
cna(04:40:59 PM): and the balconies with the cetral patio is something tipical to see in spanish housings
jak(04:41:03 PM): and what about the curved shapes of the brackets!
cna(04:41:32 PM): the called it house of orange because of its stucco paintings?
cna(04:42:06 PM): yes thats right
jak(04:43:20 PM): if u pay attention, u can see that is repeated the use of tiles and other materials to palte the facades..
ig(04:43:58 PM): also, all of these buildings are built on irregular lots, are they?
jak(04:44:17 PM): is very well done in order to pive rithms and tectonical presence to the bldg
cna(04:44:28 PM): yes there is a great importance in the facedes composition
cna(04:45:26 PM): this and the situation of its context, the curved corner and polygonal form
jak(04:46:09 PM): i think is great the fact that the people that owns the ground floor`s locals respects the bldg`s image...
cna(04:46:45 PM): but i dont understand that the ground floor is comercial?
jak(04:46:58 PM): the chamfer is very used in their corners
ig(04:47:25 PM): i think that the ground floor it is like a big comunal patio
jak(04:47:41 PM): yes, the ground floor is comercial, with small stores like pharmacies, etc..
ig(04:47:48 PM): for all of the people who live there.
cna(04:47:49 PM): ahhh ok
jak(04:48:00 PM): the ground floor in front to the street..
cna(04:48:09 PM): that conects to the central patio wereis the stairway
jak(04:48:56 PM): so, these stores have a very good place in front of squares, avenues, etc..
jak(04:49:17 PM): a lot of people must know of their presence...
cna(04:49:27 PM): yes that relate to the peolple passing by
cna (04:49:37 PM): and your building jak?
jak(04:50:03 PM): like the pharmacy in X-bldg, the groceries store of the bldg of the Z-square...

jak(04:50:42 PM): this gives presence in the citizens conscience
cna(04:50:47 PM): but these are 2 buildings
