What exactly am I looking at? Is this just for visual aesthetic on the outside of a building, or is there some specific purpose served by this architecture?

They don't quite look like balconies, and there's a hole. Perhaps in the rightmost column I can see a part of a railing or a window through some of the holes?

EDIT: Just saw this post in my feed, which I think is showing the same architecture as this one. It appears to be for aesthetic purposes, but I could certainly be wrong.

You are correct. While they are technically window awnings, they are mostly for aesthetic purposes. You are also right about the other picture being of the same architecture. It's the same building just from the opposite side.
