One thing that really caught my attention is this newer commercial building I was at, have a rusty look to it… It is pretty interesting how architecture design it. It is uncommon to have actual iron beam as a pillar and rustic metal tiles just above the store’s sign.
Oh this is my first page breaking into my 2nd new Moleskine sketchbook!

Iron beam. Not as uncommon as you might think. Encastre beams (enclosed)are fixed at each end unlike cantilevers:
Not so sure about metal tiles though.

They would normally be clad in brickwork or cement to avoid corrosion. How do I know this? Your drawing has just brought back many painful hours of study from 40 odd years ago
