previous facade
The image showcases a magnificent example of metal architectural decor on a building facade, executed in Art Nouveau style with elements of industrial aesthetics. We are looking at the upper part of the facade, where a triangular pediment richly adorned with intricate metalwork particularly stands out.
The facade structure combines engineering precision with artistic expressiveness. The metal framework forms the basis, which is not concealed but rather becomes an important part of the visual solution. The glass filling between the framework elements creates transparency and lightness in the construction.
The central element of the composition is a striking semi-circular window with ornamental metal framing, reminiscent of sun rays or a floral motif. This decorative medallion is organically integrated into the overall geometry of the facade and serves as its semantic center.
Special attention should be paid to the detail work: the wave-like metal elements along the edges of the pediment, the rhythmic alternation of decorative elements, and the delicate handling of proportions. The patina on the metal gives the structure a noble shade and emphasizes its historical value.
The facade demonstrates a harmonious combination of functionality and decorative quality, characteristic of architecture from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, when new materials and technologies allowed for the creation of such openwork, almost lace-like metal structures.
