Hotel San Francisco Hip The city is experiencing a series of processes due to economic and geopolitical factors that have brought the country with the highest rate of growth in Latin America. This situation and the strengthening of its sales and service features has forced the creation of a new center in the city that is now under some particular sector of San Francisco. It is said that the commercial ntros ce destroy the centers of the city but of course I also reinforce to some extent, especially to the newly created. Multiplaza, a successful commercial project in Punta Pacifica, and the high investment in infrastructure, has transformed San Francisco into a new territory for the building construction as it is Paitilla and Punta Pacifica. The phenomenon is the same as what happens in Bella Vista, unlike at some point there were threats and obstacles to civil society by the destruction of architectural heritage which in fact is taking place. also were eliminated building codes d and tall buildings after the former location of the airstrip in Punta Paitilla as was on route landing and takeoff of aircraft. The same phenomenon of speculation on property and land in Bella Vista happens in San Francisco, chalets "atomic ranch" Mid Century Modern-fifties and sixties that made a quiet residential complex of middle and late examples the Hispanic are being torn down to be occupied by luxury multifamily joint. It is interesting to see all the publicity and the approach that offers most of these projects, suggesting an urban lifestyle and cosmopolitan through a postmodern language revival of the International Style architecture in all its variety, range and extension without any sense crit ico, but rather formal.
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.
