Greetings dear @soulsdetour. Always a tremendous pleasure to serve you in our beloved community. Stay fabulous and awesome as always! 😀

Hey friend @soulsdetour The pictures are mesmerising, The angles are worth appreciating. It's beautiful.
Also to acknowledge the fact that some style of architecture brings joy and I totally resonate with you as I too loved the building façade, It's fantastic!
Thanks for such a wonderful publication, Keep sharing your experiences.

There are certainly plenty of controversial buildings around the world. This may not directly apply to privately owned developments, but typically targets civic institutions built by the government, specifically enormous projects relying on public coffers and financed by accumulated taxes paid by its citizens. In any case, these tax-paying locals have the right to know where their money has been invested, don't they? Of course, this is surely a debatable issue, because mixing architecture with politics never fails to provoke criticisms, intrigues, as well as controversies.

On the flipside, admiring the Congress Center purely for its architectural prowess is our main focus. Setting aside the political conversations, I have to say that this building is truly a stunning masterpiece of modern standards. Its interesting interplay of geometric configurations comprised of embossed diamonds, horizontal grooves, diagonal lines, and rectilinear shapes is a fantastic architectural combination that's aesthetically pleasing! There's no doubt that immensely creative minds have been behind the fruition of this impressive work.

I wonder why their authorities situated this important building along Burgas City's coastlines, where there are lots of unnecessary distractions, commotions, and commercial activities? Aren't prestigious landmarks of international events, conventions, and conferences supposed to be constructed in more secure, private, and sophisticated areas of the metropolis? The term congress is also misleading, in my opinion, making me think that the building is a meeting place for public leaders such as congressmen holding their legislative sessions. Just curious dear @soulsdetour? 😊

Okay, I got it, and thank you for the clarification. Now it's absolutely clear. For business sustainability, it's definitely common sense for the Congress Center to be constructed within their state-owned coastal territory, within the boundaries of the "Port Infrastructure". It would also be a foolish move for them to develop a project outside of their jurisdiction, exercising less control of favorable outcomes.

Because that building is indeed a specialized venue for both local and international events, conferences, and exhibitions, the name "Congress" might be well suited to their initial intentions - to create vanity, extravagance, and a stately display of power for the public. Nevertheless, it's merely a name. Yet what's more important is the resulting architectural, cultural, and above all, the economic bottom line of that built landmark, whether it has truly served its purpose or not. Do you think so? 😊

Yes, that's understandable. I'd be scratching my head too if I was in your place. Well, I think nationalistic people, especially citizens of a country that had arguably strong political influences in the past, would be suspicious of your public actions, because of being different from the prevalent "herd mentality". Although you're a local yourself, your true intentions were simply for your interests in photography, design, and architecture.

Therefore, to avoid further confusion, including the unnecessary meddling with sensitive issues, let's just offer them the benefit of the doubt, and stick with what we do best - sharing our architectural impressions and experiences about the built environment. Thank you for this thought-provoking conversation dear @soulsdetour. Have a lovely one! 😊

Hello @soulsdetour. I also agree that we cannot live in the past forever. Modern buildings also deserve attention, and you showed it perfectly. The congress center in the coastal city of Burgas impresses with a combination of modern architectural styles! By the way, I also often hear negative reviews from local residents about modern buildings. At the same time, as a tourist, I admire this.
One way or another, the building of the congress center looks modern and aesthetic. I like it! Thanks for sharing!☺️

Your content is wonderful my friend, and the building looks great, and what you say in relation to leaving the past is very true, but nevertheless there are many architectural works that have a more significant value due to their relevance in history and what they meant in some time according to its functionality, that's my point of view. Greetings thank God your blog evolved for the better through this wonderful platform. see you soon, blessings from Venezuela.

I love the wall design. The stairs are unique on their own.

One of the elements of modern architecture is right angles, in addition to using screens as a predominant element in the works, this is exceptional for the detail they use, thanks for showing it.
