^^^ Hmm, I could have sworn that the support of the balconies was augmented by curved steel members embedded along the bottom of the arches. Maybe I am wrong. If there is no steel, that just makes the engineering that much more impressive because the concrete is just so damn thin. They really pushed the limits of the materials that were available to them in these buildings.
