Edifido Victory Garden, built in 1936 is significant locally under Criterion C for the area of architecture as outstanding Spanish Revival building in the Municipality of San Juan, representative of apartment buildings, results of the rise in urban development in the area and excellent example of the work of the renowned Puerto Rican architect Pedro de Castro.
The Spanish Revival, an eclectic architecture style, had its heyday in the last decades of the XIX century and the first decades of the XX century. It was the style in vogue to build significant institutional and private edifices and numerous magnificent residences for a wealthy class in Puerto Rico. It was a style that looked at Spain as a cultural paradigm with its Moorish, Renaissance and Mediterranean influence, and to the style of the missions in California. It became so popular in Puerto Rico, California and Florida in that period. "Its employ in the architectural practice in United States and Puerto Rico respond to several factors: a taste for the exotic; a search for cultural roots; evoked by such places as the Universidad de Alcald de Henares; an accommodation to regional climatic conditions; and last, the historicist wave that swept over Western architecture at the beginning of the twentieth century”.
Victory Garden building is representative of the apartment buildings constructed during the building boom of the 30's, as part of the urban development of Santurce. Also, it is an excellent representative of the efforts to design functional apartment houses in Puerto Rico, integrating the beauty of the Spanish Revival style of the time.
The building's design efficiently recognizes the different programmatic needs for commercial spaces on the first floor and more private housing units on the upper floors. It also recognizes its proximity to a nice view of the Condado Lagoon, as every unit has a balcony towards it. At the same time, housing units - and the whole building - acknowledge the presence of Ponce de Leon Avenue - the city as such - on the opposite site. The design takes full advantage of the sloping topography on the site as the difference in level from the front of the building to the back wall allows for some covered parking space to develop under the main structure without occupying any of the scarce lot space behind the structure. The building's four-story bulk is cleverly handled to play down its scale to merge better with the surrounding structures along the street. The design indulges successfully in a play of solids and voids featuring outdoor covered balconies and uncovered terraces along the edge zones on both sides, to imply a step down in volume one story to the one below, all done in a subtle, almost unnoticeable manner. The mature design displayed on the general aspects of the building and site design is further made evident in the unit design.
Besides the exquisite handling of architectural composition in massing and elevation, the design excels for its quality in the use of architectural details and ornament pertinent to the Spanish Revival Style, one particularly mastered by De Castro. The careful composition of ornaments and moldings penetrates the building. The flooring in every room of the units displays a contained geometric pattern in hydraulic cement mosaic tile, a feature based on a long lasting Island tradition.

Edificio de la Estación de Montemayor. Antes había uno bastante típico y parecido a otras pequeñas estaciones de la zona, pero supongo que costaba más restaurarlo que poner esta casetilla prefabricada.
Curioso logo, pese a ser una instalación de ADIF ;).

The Edificio Del Valle is significant locally under Criterion C in the area of architecture as an outstanding Spanish Renaissance Revival building in the Municipality of San Juan and representative of the work of a master, the renowned Puerto Rican architect Rafael Carmoega Morales.
By the mid 1920's, the economical boom created by the sugar producing/exporting industry promoted the emergence of the middle class. Composed of professionals related to the sugar, banking, government and academic sectors, the middle class broke in with force during the 1920's. Submerged in the same social and material values of the upper groups, the economical force of the middle class will stimulated the construction of homes by the private sector. Traditional upper class habitats sites were invaded by the rising demands of the middle class, which claimed their place among the "well to do ". Santurce was one of those locations where the middle class will strongly appear. The private construction interests will develop efficient ways to accommodate the residential needs of the new middle class. Because of the raise in value of the land in certain areas of Santurce, as in other parts of the island, the construction companies oriented their style from single home building toward the multiple dwellings during the 1930's and l94Q's: The Santurce identity changed from wooden individual residences toward the multi-story concrete buildings for the upper, middle and even the lower classes. Individual architects in private practice like Rafael Carmoega, Pedro de Castro, private contractors, like the Santurce Development Company, who employed the services of well known architects, changed the spatial occupation and appearance of Santurce during the 30's and 40's. The construction of the Edificio Del Valle responded precisely to the trend of multiple dwellings offered to the new middle class.
Spanish Revival in character, Edificio Del Valle shows several diverse stylistic features that deviate from the specifics of the style into a more eclectic historical undertaking. The deviations are probably caused by the transitional period running through the architectural field during the 1940's, when Art Deco and the "International" style were been inserted into the practice by the government officially. The eclecticism of the structure reflects also the personal style signature of his designer, Rafael Carmoega Morales.
Also of interest in this building is the refined craftsmanship and quality in detailing and materials. Concrete high-relieves, iron gates, cornices, capitals and mouldings figure among the many elements that underline the buildings nobility.

Se trata de un edificio de oficinas de gran impacto visual, que por su particular situación en la vaguada de la Castellana, en una de las esquinas del complejo AZCA, resulta visible desde muchas zonas de Madrid. Para su diseño la empresa propietaria decidió, en 1971, convocar un concurso restringido en el que participaron los arquitectos J. A. Coderch, J. A. Corrales y R. Vázquez Molezún, A. Bonet, el equipo integrado por R. de La-Hoz, G. Olivares y J. Chastang, los hermanos Miró y F. J. Sáenz de Oíza, que finalmente resultaría ganador. El fallo fue resuelto por un amplio jurado, asesorado por diversos especialistas, entre ellos miembros de la firma norteamericana Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. El proyecto tuvo que salvar muchas dificultades de distinto tipo, desde las de imagen empresarial a las propiamente bancarias y las meramente técnicas, entre ellas el estar construido sobre el túnel del ferrocarril que recorre el paseo de la Castellana, lo que obligó a disponer una cimentación amortiguada. Colaboraron con Oíza: Francisco Alonso, Javier Azofra, Alfonso Valdés, José Carlos Velasco y Javier Vellés, y en el diseño y el cálculo de la estructura el ingeniero Carlos Fernández Casado, optándose por la disposición de dos grandes "troncos" huecos de hormigón que encierran en su interior los conductos verticales de instalaciones y sistemas de comunicaciones, desde los que parten fuertes voladizos y losas cada cinco plantas, sobre los que, mediante pilares metálicos, se levantan los pisos intermedios. Esta disposición estructural, apreciable desde el exterior, unida a la elección de un cerramiento independiente de ella, efectuado con muro cortina en acero auto-oxidante con las esquinas redondeadas, de inspiración wrightiana, define la caracterización estética de la torre.

The Metropolis Building or Edificio Metrópolis (Spanish) is an office building in Madrid, Spain, at the corner of the Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía. Inaugurated in 1911, it was designed by Jules and Raymond Février for the insurance company La Unión y el Fénix. It is currently owned by Metrópolis Seguros.
History
Start of construction
After La Unión y el Fénix acquired the ground in 1905, they launched an international competition for the opportunity to design their building. Among French and Spanish architects, Jules and Raymond Février won, and construction started in 1907.
For its construction, five homes had to be demolished between two streets: Calle de Alcalá and Calle del Caballero de Gracia. At that time, the Gran Via was still in design phase.
In 1910 construction was finished, and on 21 January 1911 the building was inaugurated.
