Architecture is not only a sample of what humans can do with imagination and building materials, magnificent works, palaces and firm temples that, despite their millenary age are still stable and present today. It also represents the ability to move forward and give anyone a home to love.

Hello dear community lovers of designs and architectures that go beyond the visible and invisible that sometimes can only be seen with eyes of love as Mother Calcutta said.
Today I want to share my tour of my city, the first-born of the American continent, Cumana, Venezuela, so you know the beautiful designs found in this small town bathed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea.
This time I will tell you about a shopping center in the center of the city called Jergo Center. It is located in one of the oldest and most important streets of the region, Bermudez Street as it is known by the locals, this is the place where most of the commercial establishments of the city are located.

This building has three floors, its color is very striking with blue ceramic, the main entrance and the three front floors have bars, it also has a roof terrace with panoramic windows that allows us to contemplate a beautiful view and enjoy the sunlight.

This mall like many others in the city due to the economic situation we live in the country has closed its doors of the vast majority of the stores that sold different ranges of products. Today it makes me very sad to see that only something that was so prosperous at the time and that today is only reduced to a small number of stores gives nostalgia, however, others have fought against the tide and have remained as the metaphor of the elevator goes up and down, one day you go shopping and see that the business has prospered and the next day you find that it closed because of the crisis. Currently in this mall there are only on the first floor a shoe store where we can find all kinds of sports shoes, a pharmacy for health and life and on the following floors some spa and a gym.

Something that caught my attention at the Jergo Center was a kind of rectangular dome at the top of the mall, which is very important because it allows sunlight to enter the store and gives us a breathtaking view of the firmament with beautiful clouds and that vast sky above us that is a marvelous and majestic work of art.

The shopping center, although many stores are empty, is very well preserved and above all the neatness of its floors and windows which have a view of the gods.
It has white wrought iron stairs that go from the first floor to the third floor, it is worth mentioning that when we reach the next floor we find a flat base where we can move and go through the commercial establishments of that sector and then the stairs to continue to the next level.

Another peculiar attraction of this building are some grids or railings in the form of a rectangle in the center of each floor which allows the passage of sunlight to the entire mall making it something new and wonderful because we can enjoy natural light free of pollution, simply extraordinary.

Peace and well family

Despite being small, this is definitely an impressive mall @virgilio07. Too bad some shops had to shutdown due to the crisis. And because architecture and the real estate industries are dependent on the economy, let's hope and pray that everything will return to its former glory or at least progress for the better. Thank you for the design tour. Happy Sunday! 😊🙏

It seems that the shopping center doesn't use much light and relies on some pre-arranged ventilation. not like today's modern shopping center.

Certainly in the center of it there is a kind of rectangular dome that allows natural lighting.

Thank you very much for your visit, have a nice day.
