Hola queridos amigos de esta espléndida comunidad¨ArchitectureDesignCommunity¨:  Este post está pendiente desde hace un tiempo, me había comprometido con nuestro amigo @storiesoferne y hoy tuve la oportunidad de hacerlo. En esta zona del mundo estamos viviendo una situación muy delicada, esta ¨pandemia¨ nos ha cambiado nuestra forma de vivir, mantenernos a salvo es un prioridad, para hacerlo debemos que darnos en casa; Hace unos días debíamos asistir de manera obligatoria a la ciudad, aprovechamos esa salida para tomar alguna fotografías de las construcciones históricas de nuestra ciudad, gracias a esta salida puedo cumplir mi promesa con nuestro amigo

Hello dear friends of this splendid community ¨ArchitectureDesignCommunity¨:   This post has been pending for a while, I had gotten engaged to our friend @storiesoferne and today I had the opportunity to do so. In this area of the world we are living a very delicate situation, this ¨pandemic¨ has changed our way of life, keeping ourselves safe is a priority, to do so we must give ourselves at home; A few days ago we had to attend the city on a compulsory basis, we took advantage of that outing to take some photographs of the historical buildings of our city, thanks to this outing I can fulfill my promise with our friend


Antes de la colonización de Corrientes, esto era tierra de diferentes comunidades de indígenas, nuestro pueblo comienza a tener forma con la llegada de los indios ¨guaraníes¨ de ellos heredamos nuestro segundo idioma el ¨guaraní¨. Nuestro principal idioma lo obtenemos con la colonización de los españoles hace 433 años. El español es nuestra lengua materna y es la manera en que nos comunicamos. Por la cercanía de otros países es común hablar en portugués con los hermanos brasileros que nos visitan, o en guaraní con los oriundos de ¨Paraguay¨

Before the colonization of Corrientes, this was the land of different indigenous communities, our people began to take shape with the arrival of the ¨guaraní¨ Indians from them we inherited our second language ¨guaraní ¨. Our main language is obtained with the colonization of the Spanish 433 years ago. Spanish is our mother tongue and it is the way we communicate. Due to the proximity of other countries, it is common to speak in Portuguese with the Brazilian brothers who visit us, or in Guaraní with the natives of ¨Paraguay¨


Desde la llegada de los ¨guaraníes¨ nuestra ciudad ha ido cambiando con los años, la presencia de los ¨españoles¨ se notan en las construcciones más antiguas de la ciudad; Los techos de tejas coloniales, grandes galerías en el interior y patios centrales con aljibes son algunas cosas que dicen que los ¨españoles¨ estuvieron presente en la creación de mi ¨Ciudad¨ de ¨Corrientes¨

Since the arrival of the ¨guaraní¨ our city has changed over the years, the presence of the ¨Spanish¨ is noticeable in the oldest buildings in the city; The colonial tile roofs, large interior galleries and central courtyards with cisterns are some of the things that say that the ¨Spanish¨ were present in the creation of my ¨Ciudad¨ de ¨Corrientes¨


El clima predominante de ¨Corrientes¨ es el calor, la razón de las construcciones de los interiores con grandes galerías que permitieran fluir correntadas de aires frescos. El conocimiento español se hace notar en la carpintería y herrería de las construcciones, puertas y ventanas de grandes dimensiones con banderolas decoradas con hermosos herrajes estructurales; La calidad de las construcciones hicieron posible que estuvieran presente en la actualidad, las construcciones modernas difícilmente llegan a permanecer por tantos años

The predominant climate of ¨Corrientes¨ is heat, the reason for the constructions of the interiors with large galleries that allow streams of fresh air to flow. Spanish knowledge is evident in the carpentry and ironwork of the buildings, large doors and windows with banners decorated with beautiful structural fittings; The quality of the constructions made it possible for them to be present today, modern constructions hardly manage to remain for so many years


La llegada de la comunidad italiana también dejo su marca en las construcciones y fachada de la antigua ciudad, a diferencia de los españoles que el gran trabajo estuvo en el interior, estos se destacaron por sus elegantes fachadas y molduras. Los gobernantes y personas adineradas de la época, utilizaron los servicios de arquitectos italianos en sus construcciones; Estos diferentes estilos hoy conviven y predominan en el ¨casco¨ ¨histórico¨ de la ciudad

The arrival of the Italian community also left its mark on the buildings and façade of the old city, unlike the Spanish, who did the great work inside, they stood out for their elegant facades and moldings. The rulers and wealthy people of the time, used the services of Italian architects in their constructions; Today these different styles coexist and predominate in the ¨historic¨ ¨the helmet¨ of the city


Estas construcciones no eran del tipo económicas, las fachadas de los edificios indicaban de que se trataba de una familia pudiente o de alguna institución del gobierno, algo que se destacaba eran las hermosas figuras construidas, cuanto más figura tenía el frente, era más costosa la evolución del costo de la propiedad

These constructions were not of the economic type, the facades of the buildings indicated that it was a wealthy family or some government institution, something that stood out were the beautiful figures built, how much the more figure the front had, the more expensive the evolution of the cost of ownership


Este edificio perteneció hasta hace algunos años a uno de los poderes judiciales de la ciudad, en la actualidad está ocupada por una casa de alimento muy conocida en el mundo; Hay muchos ejemplos como este, edificios antiguos ocupado por comercios de renombres, esta es una tendencia que al parecer es muy valorada por los ¨consumidores¨ de ¨alta¨¨gama¨. Estas hermosa imágenes la tomo mi esposa, con una cámara ¨Nikon¨¨Coolpix¨¨B500¨

This building belonged until a few years ago to one of the judicial powers of the city, today it is occupied by a well-known food house in the world; There are many examples like this, old buildings occupied by renowned businesses, this is a trend that seems to be highly valued by "high-end" consumers. These beautiful images were taken by my wife, with a ¨Nikon¨¨Coolpix¨¨B500¨ camera.

Hello @jlufer, that's definitely one unusual fast food building :) Courtyards are excellent in managing heat, providing good lighting, natural ventilation, and greenery to spaces. Would you ever consider having a courtyard in your own home?

Hello dear friend @discoveringarni good night
The heat of my city is suffocating, to cope with them it is vital to have spacious galleries, my house is spacious and I have more than thirty meters of gallery around the house, it is the only way to cope with the heat.
Thank you very much for this pleasant visit and support that you provide to my post
have a wonderful weekend

Warm greetings @jlufer, it's a delight to see you here, and welcome back to the Architecture+Design Community!

It's great to witness your city of Corrientes harmonizing 2 different design elements namely the Spanish and Italian architectural influences in a unique building that's truly admirable in its entirety. Though it's a radical move to combine historical landmarks with modern enterprises, I think these contrasting ideas blend creatively and are aesthetically pleasing trends. Thank you for choosing us for your awesome publications about architecture and design!

hello dear friend @storiesoferne good night
I had committed to you that I would present this post, it took a while for reasons of the confinement that we live in this part of the world.

Corrientes has inhabitants with a lot of money, they are people who like the traditional. The commercial market has studied it, it is the reason why these old constructions are in the power of the best businesses.

the variety of culture has made a beautiful city, where old constructions coexist with modern ones

I wholeheartedly appreciate the great support you have given to my work.

I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid weekend

hola amigo
si los españoles cuando colonizaron llevaron con ellos la construcción, y para los grndes señores por eso esos edificios, siempre es así cuanto mas grande y as recargado mas ricos eran.
es bueno tener muchas culturas eso hace rico un país.
aquí también las marcas internacionales se quedan con los mejores edificios
feliz día amigo
Hi friend
If the Spaniards took the construction with them when they colonized, and for the great gentlemen that is why those buildings, it is always the case the bigger and more ornate they were, the richer they were.
it is good to have many cultures that makes a country rich.
here also international brands keep the best buildings
happy day friend

Hola querida amiga @txatxy buenas noches
Mi ciudad es hermosas, en ella conviven armoniosamente, las construcciones antiguas, modernas y mucho espacio verde, mas de 10 kilómetros de costanera que albergan cientos de especies de arboles. Lo que hizo posible esta construcción es variedad de cultura

Muchas gracias por esta grata visita y apoyo que brindas a mi post.
Que pases un hermoso fin de semana

What strike me the most is the McDonald's. I am used to seeing McDonald's store facade with contemporary design but this one feel rustic and heritage-vibe.

hello dear friend @juecoree good night
What happens in my country, that these companies here are concessions, and they generally rent the properties, they have some freedom when renting, they don't have to follow a standard format.
Thank you very much for your visit. have a beautiful night

Excelente recopilación arquitectónica. Me hace recordar mucho a la arquitectura de mi ciudad, también fuertemente influenciada por la colonización española.

Gracias por compartir. ¡Feliz día!

That's so unusual that a McDonalds occupies a historical building!
I guess it's okay if the city allowed it.

Have a nice day, @jlufer.
