Bushnell 4200 Elite Tactical

This is one of the images that circulate via email about the high rise buildings currently being built on Avenida Balboa and in a broader term of the Bay of Panama, as the radius of these buildings is from Amador Canal at the entrance to the shores of Juan Diaz. In the future, at a pace that leads Kobe and mangroves occupy Tocumen.
This composition made in a program of graphic design, computer graphics images of these projects, altered in a way, is a rudimentary collage and schematic of what reality really awaited project (altered scales, buildings, misdirected, inaccurate location, etc). However, it is interesting that this exercise because this housing boom is almost out of the hands of local authorities and any municipal planning office to take charge of the urban landscape. Most is the result of speculation and the movement of the chips especulatorias that stand in the sector.
From the left is the farmhouse and church steeples that stand as pinnacles of the old town, packed all and with a fairly uniform level that gives a certain unity to the whole. Since those early days of the Avenida Balboa, lots have already been purchased and demolished structures. They are currently in a state of hibernation, deserts, hoping the sector's infrastructure was further enhanced by the construction of the Cinta Costera, completion of the other construction projects already ripped and new residents moving to offer better side at this point in Avenue belonging to the districts of Calidonia and El Marañón. It is expected that coastal areas are the spearhead of the housing market and then move further inland into blocks of Bella Vista, Calidonia and Exhibition with the aim of being both for speculative and real estate developments.
One of the pilots was once the Palacio de la Bahia, designed by the arch. Jesus Diaz, the firm redesigned Lopez Pineiro, promoted by a group of English investors called Olloqui Group, which in reality all he has done is raise a billboard every time December arrives to greet the Panamanian Christmas.
In this brief overview of the most representative way of boom followed Rivage Condominium project. It is actually a glass tower, which stands out in stages at the corners, covering the remaining terraces with glass, like a greenhouse in the tropics over 100 meters high. Many of these solutions are purely formal or decorative part of market strategies supported by the possibilities efecticistas renders offering tintatos glass with lighting effects and reflections very nice. This building by auction, profuse window frames and spare, variation in staggered bodies reminded me a lot of Art Deco inspiration. In fact in graphic advertising the building is flanked symmetrically from the sea by two muses, composition clearly Art Deco. To carry out the project had to blow himself one of the best preserved examples of Hispanic pintorrequistas, chalet that was knocked off the bat, with the consent of the Department of Historical Heritage of INAC and despite the protests and criticism from groups such as Alianza Pro Docomomo-City and Panama.
