The Copita Building : A great work of architecture and design in Cumaná (Eng - Esp)
Hello friends lovers of architecture and design around the world, I wish you a happy Saturday in family togetherness, the temperature in my city has been very hot, we are just in the hottest season of the year, which is ideal for visiting the beaches, enjoy refreshing drinks and delicious ice cream in the company of family and friends, It is also the perfect occasion to observe the beautiful marine passages that mother nature gives us, compared to previous years I consider that the sun's rays are more intense and the heat is strong, so I prefer to make my outings in the morning hours, from 10:00 am onwards the heat is so hot: 00 a. m the heat is suffocating, although there are errands to do in the afternoon I prefer to make the most of the morning for my routines and take pictures of the buildings of my city, this time I share with you my visit to the building La Copita.

This building is located on Avenida Fernández de Zerpa, where large residential and service sector buildings stand out, in this area are located pharmacies, clinics, and government institutions, such as the main headquarters of the fire department which is a very important landmark in the city; making a little history this avenue owes its name to one of the founders of the city of Cumaná who managed to rebuild the city after being burned on several occasions by the aborigines who inhabited much of the region, the building stands out for its beautiful architecture and design, In the front it has a cylindrical tower that converges with small rectangular offices that protrude from the upper floors, the windows are in the form of semi-circle with smoked glass that are strategically located above the front door where you can read the name of this incredible construction, also has a small garden of Ytzoras.
Este edificio se localiza en la Avenida Fernández de Zerpa,donde se destacan grandes edificaciones residenciales y del sector servicios, en esta zona se ubican farmacias, clínicas, e instituciones gubernamentales, como la sede principal de los bomberos que constituye un punto de referencia muy importante en la ciudad; haciendo un poco de historia esta avenida debe su nombre a uno de los fundadores de la ciudad de Cumaná quien logró reconstruir la ciudad luego de ser quemada en varias ocasiones por los aborígenes que habitaban gran parte de la región, el edificio destaca por hermosa arquitectura y diseño, en la parte frontal tiene una torre cilíndrica que converge con pequeñas oficinas rectangulares que sobresalen de los pisos superiores, las ventanas son en forma de semi círculo con vidrios ahumados que están estrategicamente ubicadas encima de la puerta principal donde se puede leer el nombre de esta increíble construcción, además tiene un pequeño jardín de Ytzoras.
This building is home to several medical offices and consists of 5 floors, in which they offer consultations of different clinical specialties: Ophthalmology, pediatrics, Pneumonology among others, there are the most prominent ophthalmologists doctors of the city, according to information provided by a doctor the building is between 25 and 30 years old and they have not made any modifications, only maintenance and repair of some walls, I like this building for its great design and details of the windows, walls and columns of cylindrical shape that give a great aspect to this architectural work, the times I pass by there I carefully observe every detail especially the towers located on both sides and its circular windows.
Este edificio es sede de varios consultorios médicos y consta de 5 pisos, en el ofrecen consultas de diferentes especialidades clínicas: Oftalmología, pediatría, Neumonología entre otros, allí se encuentran los médicos oftalmólogos más destacados de la ciudad, según la información suministrada por una doctora el edificio tiene entre 25 y 30 años y no le han hecho modificaciones, solo mantenimiento y reparación de algunas paredes, me gusta este edificio por su gran diseño y detalles de las ventanas, paredes y columnas de forma cilíndrica que le dan un gran aspecto a esta obra arquitectónica, las veces que paso por allí observo detenidamente cada detalle especialmente las torres ubicadas a ambos lados y sus ventanas circulares.
On the first floor previously operated several government offices that are currently closed, the building remains operational only medical offices, to access has semi-round stairs and elevators, the offices are located in long corridors to the right and left, the floor is ceramic and glass windows with black aluminum bases, at the entrance of each hallway has black railings also, personally I'm a little scared to climb this building I have only reached the second floor, I think that the fact of having smoked glass prevents the entry of sunlight, on previous occasions I have visited buildings with low lighting and I go through them with all tranquility, but this one in particular scares me a little, I have visited several times and I try to keep my stay there brief, observe the exterior of this building is very exciting for me, I can spend several hours admiring every detail of the design, they are really beautiful and striking.
En la planta baja anteriormente funcionaban varias oficinas gubernamentales que actualmente están cerradas, en el edificio se mantienen operativos solo los consultorios médicos, para acceder cuenta con escaleras semi redondas y ascensores, los consultorios se ubican en largos pasillos a la derecha e izquierda, el piso es de cerámica y las ventanas de vidrio con bases de aluminio negro, en la entrada de cada pasillo tiene barandas de color negro también, en lo personal me da un poco de miedo subir a este edificio solo he llegado hasta el segundo piso, creo que el hecho de tener vidrios ahumados impide la entrada de la luz solar, en ocasiones anteriores he visitado edificaciones con poca iluminación y las recorro con toda tranquilidad, pero esta en particular me asusta un poco, lo he visitado en varias ocasiones y trato que mi permanencia allí sea breve, observar el exterior de este edificio es muy emocionante para mi, puedo estar varias horas admirando cada detalle del diseño, son realmente hermosos y llamativos.
In general the building looks very good, except for the left tower and one of the front doors that are somewhat deteriorated, due to lack of maintenance, photographing this structure for the first time was fun and at the same time gave me a little fear when I had to climb, but this fact does not take away the relevance of this incredible work of architecture made of reinforced concrete and granite coating on the sides, in my daily routines I pass through this avenue and I can not stop looking at this attractive building with a great location, I believe that the constructions located in the corners have a great visibility in each of its angles and this is not the exception, it imposes itself in the avenue and contrasts with the landscape in perfect harmony, the vision of this building in the afternoon hours when the sun is setting is amazing, I have not yet had the opportunity to take evening photographs, this has been my visit to this great work, I hope that soon they can make maintenance and the necessary repairs to the left tower to prevent further deterioration of this building and passersby can admire for many more years this marvel of architecture and design.
En líneas generales el edificio luce muy bien, salvo en la torre izquierda y una de las puertas frontales que se encuentran algo deterioradas, por falta de mantenimiento, fotografiar esta estructura por primera vez fue muy divertido y a la vez me dio un poco de temor cuando me tocó subir, pero este hecho no le quita la relevancia a esta increíble obra de arquitectura hecha en concreto armado y recubrimiento de granito en los laterales, en mis rutinas diaria paso por esta avenida y no puedo dejar de mirar este atractivo edificio con una gran ubicación, creo que las construcciones localizadas en las esquinas tienen una gran visibilidad en cada uno de sus ángulos y esta no es la excepción, se impone en la avenida y contrasta con el paisaje en perfecta armonía, la visión de este edificio en horas de la tarde cuando el sol se está ocultando es asombrosa, aún no he tenido la oportunidad de tomar fotografías vespertinas, esta ha sido mi visita a esta gran obra espero que pronto puedan hacerle mantenimiento y las reparaciones necesarias a la torre izquierda para así evitar que siga avanzando el deterioro de esta edificación y los transeúntes puedan admirar por muchos años más esta maravilla de la arquitectura y el diseño.
Blessings!
¡Bendiciones!

Hi @pinmapple thanks for the support.
Happy afternoon!
what I like about this building is the shape of the balcony, so this building has its own charm @belkyscabrera
Hi @maytom, it is a striking building with many details especially the balcony that combines several geometric figures, also its location in a corner allows to better appreciate the towers and front of the building.
Greetings!
This place it's amazing
Hi @soychalbed , it is a great piece of architecture that stands out for its incredible details.

Greetings @jordy0827, it is a spectacular building, I think it is one of the most beautiful in the city and has an excellent location in addition to a beautiful design and architecture.
Happy Sunday!
Greetings @belkyscabrera. The Copita Building is absolutely a modern masterpiece of architecture! Like @maytom, I'm also impressed by its striking balconies and the interconnected cantilevered floors of that landmark. Additionally, the interesting interplay of clean geometric lines, angles, squares, rectangles, circles, and cylinders are creatively combined, forming a seamless and minimalistic whole. For an edifice that has aged between 25 and 30 years old, it still hasn't lost its captivating appeal. No wonder it's one of the eye-catching design icons of Cumaná. 👍😊
What do you think could be the reasons why the government offices have closed in that building? Could there be possibly some conflicts with the current operations of medical clinics and doctors establishments?
Hello @storiesoferne, the building la copita is one of the most emblematic buildings of the city, its location in one of the main avenues make it an important landmark, in fact very close is a bus stop called the "copita", by the aforementioned avenue you can also access the sector the monument or coastal strip of Cumana. In spite of the years it is maintained in good condition, a small repair and maintenance to the left tower would be very good for this beautiful architectural work.
The government offices closed their doors in this building during the pandemic, I asked the guard the same question and he does not know the reasons why these offices closed, as for the medical offices many have closed after the pandemic, I remember that years ago the ophthamology specialty covered an entire floor, I do not think there have been conflicts with the operations of medical establishments and clinics, because right in the area converge the most important clinics and offices of the entity, I think it was a strategic organization to provide health services in a specific area, even there are also several pharmacies.
Greetings and happy beginning of the week in family union!
Okay I see @belkyscabrera. I'm glad that the closure of the government offices were not due to conflicts. Perhaps it was because of a strategic business decision as a result of the pandemic - just my speculation. Thank you for this interesting feedback. Blessings! 😊
El cilindro en la parte central es muy distintivo y creo que es el elemento mas sobresaliente de esta ejemplar construcción, de verdad luce genial y no parece necesitar modificaciones, con solo mantenimiento esta mas que bien. Gracias por compartir, saludos!
Hi @dinaaczib, the towers give a great style to this building, I like the shape of the towers and the round windows next to it, also the rectangular windows in the center of the tower; the architect took care of all the details to make a great work that stands out for its various geometric figures that combine perfectly.
Greetings!

Greetings @mosa71, I think it is urgent to visit Cumaná haha to see the beautiful buildings, one of the newest and most modern is the shopping center where Tiendas Traky (they have changed the name many times) is large and you can enjoy delicious food, also in the Monument or coastal strip have made several constructions.
The building La Copita, is located on Avenida Fernandez de Zerpa intersection with Montes street, I can be your tour guide hehe.
Have a nice day!
