Snaps: Universidad Central de Venezuela – Villanueva

00001597

I love the Universidad de Venezuela. The campus is the masterpiece of architect Carlos Villanueva and in my opinion one of the most visually exciting campuses anywhere. Here are a few pictures from my visit in 2001.

Not only is the landscape and architecture really exciting, he collaborated with a number of international artists at the time to commission a number of monumental works. Off the top of my head I know that the largest Calder & Miro are permanent architectural installations. The Calder installation takes up the entire ceiling of the concert hall.
