Rhythm+Architecture



One of the most representative building in Caracas with rhythm is the Corpbanca tower (Torre Corpbanca in spanish). This tower is located in chacao, where is the center of the great economic and cultural activity in the city.

When we look this building we can see a good and beautiful work of architecture that also offers beautiful gardens and valuable works of art. In the hand of rhythm, in the picture we can see how the columns with their rhythm make the building take a shape in particular, which in this case is pentagonal. That rhythm offers to the architecture of the building a twist and makes it distinguished among the other that are around.

Despite this, the tower has an structural problem and its architect had to put some reinforcements to the building foundation because it was leaning to one side as the Tower of Pisa.
