Curious building
Hello everyone, instead of talking about a single house I
would like to talk about a group of houses with a unique style that gives an
identity to a neighborhood, that is Yungay in the commune of Quinta Normal. The
first time I see this type of old houses was when I was a child, in that time I
like a lot the streets, the houses and the daily life of the neighborhood. Now
that I´m studying architecture I had the opportunity to visit again the place,
with another vision and knowledge. One of the things that caught my attention
was the mixture of architecture because there houses with a style from the IXX
century to these days. The houses characterized by having a continuous façade that
mostly does not pass the two floors and have a small space for the pedestrians because
long time ago the cars didn´t exist. Like I said before is the mixture of
periods that gives the identity to this place, is not only in the architecture
but also in the culture and the people, that is I like the most. A few time ago,
I was walking there and I saw a building that had two different conditions it
was like the time didn´t pass in a half of the structure, if I have to choose
one building I take that because represents the reality of these new era and is
an example of restoration.
My mom live near of this neighborhood, for her this is so especial, since the moment of poverty of them to the actuality.
