The White Giant
I wasted a lot of time today on the Internet, trying to find a sentence that I read a while ago when I wrote my first post about the International congress center of Burgas. This sentence talked about the architectural style of the building, saying something along the lines of: the structure is white in color to meet maritime standards.
(Well, I didn't manage to find it again, in order to source it.)
I don't know what the maritime standards are for architecture. Well, I think of the buildings in some seaside or island villages - they are whitewashed and white and blue colors predominate, but I didn't know that these colors can be the rule in modern architecture, which should have long ago dealt with the shortcomings and the threats of the past when such "standards" were applied for various practical reasons.
But I can't help but admit that this building looks magnificent in that white mantle. And I can't help admitting once again, looking at these photos, that the Burgas city planning team did a great job of ennobling their city and giving it a modern and wonderful look.
Such buildings make you dream. About many things. I have seen pictures of the interior and can say that for sure.
Office space is rented here, apart from everything else. And I want to tell you that, although I already insist on working from home, without having to share a space with all kinds of people, each with their own special requirements, I would work in such an office.
Imagine the following - every morning you come to this geometric-futuristic building, which is located on the harbor, your office looks out to sea, to this soothing marine immensity.
During the breaks, you go up to the roof (if possible), where there is an amazing view of the sea and the city. Or you go outside to walk along the water and the line of fishermen who tirelessly are there every day.
It's a wonderful scenario for a work day, isn't it?
Personally, I dream about it. First, because I dream of living on the coast. Second, working on the coast is kind of easier, right? 😃
But look at those shapes, those geometric lines! I've told you before that I'm drawn to clean geometric lines in architecture. (You probably remember the square-rectangular structure with warm but vibrant colors of the office building in Dimitrovgrad. It is also very tempting to want to work in it, although it is not located at the sea.)
These geometric shapes somehow calm the mind. And not the other way around.
I have an explanation for that. This is perhaps because the human mind strives for purity and simplicity. The simpler the better, so to speak.
Of course, I'm not saying that the structure I'm showing you is simple. It is not at all. But it combines simple lines that calm the brain and make it see the simplicity in the complex structure of the whole finished architectural image.
And you? How do you perceive this white giant?

Wow!! What an amazing building. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! I'm glad you like it 🙂
I must say that the building really deserves the name you give it
High and mighty with its elegance a vibrant one, the see would be a sight for these ever sore eyes of mine, especially from a place such as this.
The design is simple in its own way that it exudes complexity
Yeah, it was hard to explain that with the design. It looks simple, but exudes complexity. Or vice versa - it looks complicated, but exudes simplicity. 😄 It's very strange the way the human brain perceives things. And we just don't take the time to pay attention to how it works when it sees certain things that surround us. 😊
Thank you for stopping by!
I like the patterns of the decorations of that building. It really would be good to spend the business hours here and then at the end, walk among the fishermen.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Thanks for appreciating it 😊 Personal stories are the main focus in my communities and I hope to see your point of view in some such post someday.
They have a cool, minimalist design
Honestly, I want to build something like this later, where I can play with my two children, of course, if I get married😅
Ha ha, I like your sense of humor. 😂 I think you are very young and yet you worry that your life is not progressing as rapidly as other people. Just have a little patience and everything will work out.
As for the building, I don't believe that you will need such a huge space to play with two children. 😄
I am now almost 30 years old, and I can no longer afford to hear the babbling of my mother who desperately wants to hold her grandson😅
It doesn't need to be big which is important I just feel comfortable, it's more than enough
Oh parents, I should have guessed. 😃 Leave your mother to her understanding of life and don't let her impose it on you. After all, each person has his own destiny. But at first, everything should be left to its natural course, not forced.
Here I have shown a business building. I think I should soon show a building of a cozy home, so that you can judge whether you will feel comfortable there. 😎
He was nagging every day😅, You may know better how a mother says😁
Home, what do you look like to intrigue me with that and of course I would be happy to wait for the house you said, just hope it's comfortable for me
Wow this is so nice,! Congratulations.
On what? 🤔😄
Contemporary façade and probably a favorite office space for some, I bet! :)
What makes it unique, though, in my opinion, is your perspective to it!
!PIZZA
As I have said before, many local people do not like this building and do not agree with its construction. Yet I adore it. The more I look at the photos I took of it, the more I am convinced that it is unique, extremely beautiful, complex in design and extremely interesting architecture. 😊
Thank you!
!PIZZA
Architecture is art, and Art has always been a matter of personal taste and perspective. Or lack of perspectives, LOL :)
!PIMP

Hi there, @soulsdetour. Indeed The White Giant is magnificent! 😃 Look at it. I like the way you took close shots of the square-rectangular walls. I don't know what was used to build this but the architectural style is unique and beautiful.
To get an office space in this building with a cool view of the sea must cost a fortune. This means only the rich and classy business men and women will own the office. 😃
These pictures are lovely. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day. 😊😊
Hi @ladytitan, when I admire something made by human hands, which is usually architecture, I walk around it and examine it from all sides, taking close-up photos. 😊 I too don't know what material it is made of. I am not an expert in architecture, just an admirer.
As for the price, you probably are right and only rich business owners could afford it.
Cheers
The geomktric shape in the building is very interesting, I also agree with you, working on the beach is a comfortable thing in my opinion, working while enjoying the scenery😊
The mind always needs rest and what better means for that than nature. And what better means for that than the sea! That's why this location is perfect. 😊
I totally agree, nature always gives tranquility
