V is for Villanueva


Central University of Venezuela

The works of Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva trace the conceptual evolution of the Latin modernity that prevailed in South America during the 1950s & 60s. His work often played "homage to Le Corbusier's definition of architecture as circulation and as a play of forms in light," yet afforded a regional precedent to Latin American architects believing that architecture could be a apparatus for social betterment, cultural and urban rejuvenation.

There are far better views than that of the storage and services buildings in the pictures you propose. Try interior spaces in the faculty of architecture.
