The Armani Tower in Miami reaches its peak

 

The design firm is nearing completion of the construction of its first real estate development in the United States, which will change the skyline of the Florida coast.

A new construction milestone has just been born for Miami, United States and for its proud promoter, the company Armani Casa. To celebrate the crowning of the concrete and glass tower (never better said), a construction rubble container with a very special content has been erected, nothing more and nothing less than two young palm trees that symbolize this special birth.

The tower is in one of the best areas of Miami

It happened in the second half of the month of August of this year (2018 for those who read this later) and that in March they had reached half, deducing, with ease, that they have executed 30 plants in six months… if we consider that all the structure is made of reinforced concrete, including slabs and walls, we will better admire the constructive efficiency: more than one floor per week! (of vertigo).

Barbara opened the room curtains of the Hotel, Alfredo undid the luggage, he didn’t like too that his belongings were “tight” in a suitcase, not even when it was a Bossa Nova of Rimowa brand. Barbara, however, couldn’t stand the claustrophobia, she needed light, as much as possible, and the room that their parents had reserved for them could not be better equipped,“we are at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit“ she thought, a hotel five-star Luxury Collection.

They do not want to look their faces, this trip to Bangkok was not idea of them and they are rather uncomfortable. Their parents had organized for that they “closed” differences, were very concerned about the escalation of tension, which had been increasing between brother and sister, from the last Christmas. Alfredo and Barbara were born the same day, at the same time, and, just a few minutes between the times in which for the first time they watch the world. They have the same physiognomy, they are almost identical, but their personalities did not have points in common.

The most spectacular spheres

The sphere is the most perfect geometric figure that exists, and its use in architecture comes from the hand of a material called steel.

Hi, the most important figure in the history of the mankind is, certainly, the sphere. You must think that this phrase is completely certain for several reasons, the first (and the more obvious) is that your peculiar and famous friend Rodolfo (I am) tells you, he never lies. The second is that we are born and develop our lives in one of them: the Earth, although this is a trap sphere, as it is slightly flattened by the poles.

The third is that our Greek ancestors knew already, in fact, a “such” Eratosthenes made the first measurement of the Earth’s elliptical surface, he calculated 250,000 stadia (unit of measurement equivalent to a sports stadium at the time, obviously). The connoisseurs say that Eratosthenes approached quite to the measure real of the world, at least, to which we consider today as real. There are more reasons, as is the form of our cells, our atoms and the majority of our fruits, although I like another completely different and no, is not football.

Hi, am I, Rodolfo, the unique human on the planet able to discern between a facade of paper and other of fabric (from afar, obviously), but you do not think that I have lost my famous (and prodigious) humility, “au contrarie” (would say my French cousin), I have the greatest present, now that I have discovered (or rediscovered) an island and a city which makes years fascinated me, at least in part (the truth ahead).

But let’s go to the start of the journey, I was looking an island (relentlessly) to build a beautiful building when I was invited to a very special excursion: a tour of the scenes of the popular series “Game of Thrones” in Iceland. I accepted, not so much by the route as by the place, an exquisite island that had not considered and to which I owe great moments of leisure and business. So, we visited Grjotagj (who has forgotten the love between Jon and Ygritte?), Dimmuborgir (where live the Wildlings) or Hofdabrekka, Vik i Myrdalur (the famous mountains of Frostfangs).

Aníbal looked the sketches of what could be his future home, his future house. Despite not having much free time, he takes very seriously to define the morphology of his future home, he knows that the architect was putting all his best intention in the preparation of the draft, but there was something that was clear: would he and his family who were to enjoy (or suffer) the future construction.

The Dior Scenarios in China

Dior bets by the Asian giant… a big way: opening a boutique in its more international commercial centre and with a parade of luxury.

“What would do you, Carmen?”, thought Raul, he coincided briefly with her on several occasions in the past, while he was partner of Carlos, her son, but, despite being only a possible mother in law, she filled a gap that neither he himself knew. He breathed relieved when she called him, a saturday afternoon, to say that although he not is partner of her son, the friendship between the two wouldn’t change, “great woman”. In front of him, four pictures of the same person, for the uninitiated, impossible to decide which is better. For him, photographer of models, not decide was not an option.
