Description
The Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000 and is considered by international critics as the masterpiece of the Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva. This architect applied the principles of modern architecture to the requirements of our country, adapting them to the richness of our climate and the social development needs of Venezuela at the time.
We will show, with comparative images, original plans, and current photos the values of its spaces and especially the modern utopia of the University City that resurfaces to serve as a guide to the future, in the hands of Carlos Raúl Villanueva, one of the masters of world architecture.
