==== The influence of modernism is related to the organic form, in whose faces we see wavy facades and curved lines but always respect an order that arrange it. Like a Greek column, the modern buildings of Valencia show a base, a body and a shot as we noted in Apartment Building 11. ====

==== ==== ==== No doubt the facades of these buildings are works of art, where every detail is thought out and the ornament is not an addition, it is part of the same piece and complement it, all designed to create a rhythm and sequence, delimiting vertical and horizontal planes with balconies or windows. ====

==== Another very important point is that “form follows function” and is thanks to this that by observing the composition of the facade from the street we have a notion such as the interior spaces of the building, relevant feature of modern architecture. ====

==== In my opinion, Valencia itself is a museum, in whose streets (corridors) we found buildings (pictures and artwork) that leave us amazed and which we could discuss and talk for an eternity. The architectural heritage that gives us this city is invaluable for our critical architectural eye. ====
