EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the preliminary design drawing of The Hotel Girassol, a modern architectural marvel located in Maputo, Mozambique, during the 1960s. At the time, Maputo was known as Lourenco Marques, the capital and largest city of Mozambique. The Hotel Girassol, with its distinctive circular design, stands as a testament to the modernist architecture that graced the East African coast. The Hotel Girassol's sleek, circular structure is a striking contrast against the lush greenery and clear blue skies of Maputo. Its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic reflect the modernist design trends of the time. The hotel's circular shape not only adds to its unique charm but also provides a panoramic view of the city and the Indian Ocean. In the foreground of the drawing, a Volkswagen camper van is parked, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The VW camper van was a popular mode of transportation during this era, and its inclusion in the drawing emphasizes the historical significance of the image. The Hotel Girassol, with its modernist design and picturesque location, continues to be a popular destination for travelers, as evidenced by its positive reviews on Trip Advisor. This drawing offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history and architectural heritage of Maputo and Mozambique during the mid-20th century. The Hotel Girassol remains an iconic symbol of this era, and its circular design continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day.
