TW, I dont want to get into personals offenses, but if you want to talk about architecture, lets do it in person, not reading some books before posting. most of your posts are just taking from newspapers, magazines and internet.
If you know that much about Ricardo Legorreta, lets just have a meet and talk about him. I have his phone # with me, so i can invite you to talk to him whenever you want.
For you information. Dominican architecture doesnt exist. but there is a mexican architecture, and very rich.
Mexican houses has Character; dominican houses dont.
it is hard to say this, because i am dominican, but this is the true.
One time a very rich dominican went to mexico invited by a Mexican executive who lodged him at the Camino Real in Mexico City and he didnt like it. He asked for a 5 star hotel like Jaragua.
The mexican told him. we dont have hotels like Jaragua. we have 5 stars hotels. hotels without casino and disco and prostitutes around the lobby. but our hotels are monumental, with class, and character.
you know what i mean. I live in Los cacicazgos, just one corner north of Anacaona ave. and you know what?, those apartments that you mention are overvalued and doesnt have architecture. this kind of buildings you can find anywhere in the world, even in nicaragua, costa rica, el salvador,etc, but mexican architecture dont.
Next time you read, you better read twice. Santa Fe is one of the most impressive neighborhoods i had ever seem. it is located in the suburbs of mexico city. not Santa Fe, new mexico.
they have great buildings with monumental mexican architecture. here is located Universidad Iberoamericana and Santa Fe Mall. the best of Legorreta.
I think this is the end. sorry by i wont reply to you. next time you want to talk about architecture, lets do it in person, WITHOUT BOOKS. and without fakes numbers without a source.
