STRIPS COLLECTION, a photo from Distrito Federal, Center-West

Photographer's Note

When I arrived in the new Bus Station of Brasнlia, in the outskirts, I took a taxi to the sector of hotels, each part of the city is dedicated to an activity.
I leave my hotel and walked some meters passing at side of a big shopping center, created by a famous architect, but this building is not visible here, but it was located at my left.
Walking few meters more I became surprised with these brand new towers, they were built to be a commercial center, but Federal Police, the most powerful of Brazil, rented one of the towers.
Few meters ahead is one of the main avenues of the city, N1-S1, nicknamed the BIG AXIS or MONUMENTAL AXIS, one of the widest avenues in the world, around 200 meters wide or even more.
.......

Quando desci na nova rodoviбria de Brasнlia, erguida nos subъrbios, apanhei um taxi e fui parar no setor hoteleiro, jб que a cidade й dividida em setores de acordo com sua atividade.
Saindo do meu hotel eu caminhei alguns metros e vi um famoso shopping center que ficava а minha esquerda, mas nгo aparece nessa foto. Mais alйm estavam estas lindas torres, novinhas em folha, eram para abrigar um centro comercial, mas a Polнcia Federal alugou um dos prйdios.
Poucos metros alйm passa uma das maiores avenidas da cidade, a N1-S1, apelidada de EIXГO ou EIXO MONUMENTAL, considerada uma das vias mais largas do mundo, com cerca de 200 metros de largura ou atй mais em certos pontos.

Hi Jorge,modern and very original architecture, a building rented by the police, perhaps with a very high rent that the citizens pay so much, because the builder is a friend of some politician ... perfect capture once again with excellent details! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Hi Jorge,

The trees and the lamposts are framing well the buildings. The point of view is showing the details of the modern buildings. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge,
The angular design and especially the different layers in white, black and gray make the building striking.
It probably won't be the most special building in your capital, but I can appreciate this design.
In any case a lot nicer than the building just behind it on the right-hand side.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Jorge,
The architect has created very strong visual effect with stripes of different shades of grey. Form of the buildings is not complicated either but diagonal walls make them more interesting right away. Well framed view. You could have omitted the lamp post on the right by taking a couple of steps to the left.

Hi Jorge,
According to the Guinness Book, The widest avenue in the world is the Avenida 9 de Julio, Buenos Aires, 16 lanes of traffic. But maybe this new avenue is now the widest. These striped buildings are very curious. The original architecture is well presented in this picture.

Hola Jorge.
Acabo de regresar de unos dias de vacaciones de la isla de Menorca y ya estoy de nuevo con vosotros.
Una esplendida composicion con estos dos edificios, que tienen una grandiosa arquitectura, no me quedo muy claro en el texto si estos dos edificios destinados a centro comercial, han cambiado de uso por la proximidad de la policia?.
Magnifico colorido, buena gestion de la iluminaciуn y nitidez.
Bien hecho. Me gusta.
Buen comienzo de semana.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Hi Jorge,
I have been away for a week into a former Portuguese territory... and I see plenty of new photos on TE. I don't think I will be able to catch up with all of them especially that I will have a busy time at work in the coming days,
Nice architecture. I like the design. The interesting effect is well enhanced with the well patterned painting of the stripes.
Excellent work

Hi Jorge,

These buildings stand out well from the others. The bold stripes seem to be in a random pattern. I like the fact that there are parts that project out from the rest of the building. Good sharpness and exposure.

Olб Jorge,
I like this kind of modern architecture. These buildings are even more unique since the shape is not uniform. It's an attractive urban view. Take care!

Hello Jorge,
Oh, I like this modern structure. It looks like slates placed on top of each other.
