 This project is about the beautiful country I live in, Venezuela. The purpose of this video is to show, using the concepts learned throughout the course, how Venezuela involves all these aspects architecturally and naturally. Venezuela has many types of architecture, but they didn't came out of nowhere, it was all influenced by all the landscape and spaces it has.



Color is everywhere, so it is used all over cities, towns, or even little villages in the jungle. 

Our music is very characteristic, really happy and rhythmic, so we need great places with great acoustics to hear it, such as the Aula Magna in the Universidad Central of Venezuela, the Teresa Carreño Theater or the Poliedro de Caracas. Since we live in a tropical country, sun bathes every place, so we work light in different ways, with perforated walls, pergolas and with plants. In the night, Venezuela irradiates colors because of all of the types of light bulbs, especially in Caracas, where slums illuminate all over the hills. Rhythm is not only found in our music, but also in many buildings. Universidad Católica Andres Bello, the paved hallways of UCV, Monumento al Sol in Barquisimeto, with all it's repeated patterns, these constructions generate rhythm. And about circulation, we can move through Venezuela using both types: through vertical circulation, in buildings such as Parque Central, Da Vinci Tower in Valencia, La Previsora Building in Caracas, and thorugh horizontal circulation in highways, Maiquetia Intl. Airport or better yet: in malls such as Sambil Margarita. All these buildings generate spaces that give scale to every city, tall buildings in Caracas for a giant scale, low buildings in Mérida, to bring warmth and coziness to homes, generating a small scale compared to the mountains, in conclusion, Venezuela has everything and more, we just need to discover it.
