[ centro cultural abreu | cultural centre abreu ]

The Historic Centre of Baruta and its surrounding areas are disconnected, specially in the intersection of Bolívar Street and Sucre Street. CENTRO CULTURAL ABREU is a new El Sistema’s Centre prototype in which culture and art are included as catalytic activities for the evolution of identity. This also represents an opportunity to reconnect all sectors

of Baruta, acting as a meeting space and cultural agora between the spontaneous and planned settlements.

CENTRO CULTURAL ABREU has two main buildings: one helds Monseñor Lucas Castillo School activities during the morning, while in the afternoon these spaces will be used as art classroms.

The other building will have the largest spaces in the centre to held musical, dance and plastic arts activities, including an underground auditorium. These buildings will be linked by public space.

Finally, CENTRO CULTURAL ABREU will articulate the different scales of the Baruta’s urban fragments.

[ la grieta | fissure ] LA GRIETA consists in a Showroom Pavilion that materializes the new techniques and materials used to create postmodern tectonics nowadays.

The project inserts in the campus of Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) by Carlos Raúl Villanueva, who made constant references to Le Corbusier’s work and reinterpreted his style into Venezuela’s tropical context, which resulted in the declaration of UCV as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.

LA GRIETA is located in “Tierra de Nadie“ [ No Man’s Land], a non-place in UCV, between its academic and artistic sites. LA GRIETA lowers the terrain a level in order to generate a public space similar to a fissure, from where the Pavilion emerges and shapes a new meeting place.

FÁBRICA DE TECHO is located in peripheral areas of Bogotá, in a plot owned by Compensar, a Colombian entity that offers health and economic services to needed families.

FÁBRICA DE TECHO is a project of Social Interest Housing, a program that help families that cannot afford an apartment or a house in real state market. The project includes a public space that integrates urban fragments in the sector and promotes cohesion and social interaction.

FÁBRICA DE

ORAAFLEX | Constructive system

TECHO

FABRICA DE TECHO is located in Usme, especifically in Bolonia sector.

This area consists in a series of spontaneaous settlements, which are next to Entrenubes Park, an important environmental corridor. In the last years, government has been seeking to make urban improvement on this area, one of these consists on the future construction of the Páramo Venue, an important road that will connect several sectors of Usme, but will also result in the relocation of a significant amount of families.

FABRICA DE TECHO seeks to give these families a new home. The proposal includes potentials of spontaneous settlements in the design of 9 housing buildings, with all kinds of facilities, as well as a complete improvement of the surrouding public space.

Metalic truss system, inexpensive, antisismic and sustainable. Allows the building to grow according to the needs of its habitants, in a way similar to a Lego system.

A main structure will accomodate the first housing units and, later on, support the extension modules.

[ mercado la limonera | la limonera market ]

SUSTAINABLE AND COMMUNITARIAN CITY is a urban project that seeks to revitalize the Baruta-Sartenejas sector, located in the southeast of Caracas.

This project is distributed in 12 sectors, in order to develop further projects in an architectonic scale.

In this case, LA LIMONERA MARKET is part of SUSTAINABLE AND COMMUNITARIAN CITY, especifically located in La Limonera sector. Taking a closer look to LA LIMONERA MARKET reveals that te proposal is based on the idea of the bridge, as an element that gathers and makes place, answering to the needs of the sector in

two ways: removing the fill of La Limonera and reopening the Sartenejas ravine to reactivate the ecological corridor and providing equipment the community lacks and creating public space.

SUSTAINABLE AND COMMUNITARIAN CITY Baruta-Sartenejas sector is located in the southeast of Caracas, which is essentially composed by urban fragments, limits that separate them, and a main road that connect them. project develops urban projects that turn borders into integration places.

[ fragments ] places that only connect through one street to city

“... a space which cannot be defined as relation, or historical, or concerned with identity will be a non-place...”

Marc Augé

“...a city should not only be the sum of its buildings; people should have where to sit, to admire things and enjoy the light...”

[ interstices ] informal spaces between two fragments that result in a no-place

[ risks ] housing areas in risk of landslides and flooding

“The city is plaza, agora, debate, eloquence... People build their houses to live in them, and found the city to leave home and meet with others who also left theirs“

450 [ CCScity450 ]

Fundación Espacio (ONG) is carrying out the project CCScity450, with actions that promote alliances needed for transformation and improvement through tactical urbanism of the urban context of architectonic and landscape works with heritage value. It includes an open virtual library with information, floor plans, historiographic material, and photos of more than 130 works made jointly by NorthAmerican and Venezuelan architects in

Caracas during the “Oil Boom”; 12 city tours; an open call to propose tactical urbanism projects on the public space of the visited sectors; and the execution of ten proposals of urban interventions, along with the winner teams.

[ works ] [ city tours ]

CCScity450’s virtual library of Source: CCScity450 Webpage, https://www.ccscity450.com/recorrido/s07-ciudad-jardin/ works includes a wide range (133) of buildings, urban complexes, projects and art pieces developed in Caracas since 1925 by architects, landscape architects, artists, designers and other North-American and Venezuelan professionals.

A significant amount of these works stand out because of their conservation conditions, location and remarkable architectural, style and cultural features. [ works | Sucre Building, Tourism Ministery Building, Montserrat Hotel] CCScity450 presents 12 emblematic sectors of Caracas in order to acknowledge their urban, architectonic and social values. These sectors are important and included in the project’s research because of their architecture and public spaces, as well as their influences, integration processes, urban transformation and actual condition. CCScity450 organized 7 city tours, 3 environmental tours, and 2 public space activation events.

[ open call ]

CCScity450 made an open call to a Competition of Participatory Projects in the Public Space, which proposes the intervention of 10 of the visited sectors. 10 projects were selected as winners after an interdisciplinary jury evaluated these ideas, as well as a series of institutions, communities and companies. These projects were executed through tactical urbanism, a methodology that gives the works an ephemeral condition that allows to test its impact to the city prior to permanent investitures. These implementations were a success.

CCScity450 executed the winner proposals through the methodology of tactical urbanism. These interventions in the public space develop specific tests that aim to reveal dormant potentials. Tactical urbanism interventions are ephemeral and seek to improve the quality of public space.

Their objective is to show people how public space can be improved with minimal, but effective changes, and, later on, to exert pressure on authorities to make permanent these changes

[ CCScity450 Comunidades CCScity450 Communities ]

CCScity450 has developed and implemented a complete series of programs with activities in the five Municipalities of Caracas, with the support of several groups of allies and a diverse team of work with expertise in people-topeople exchanges, academic programing, international cooperation, and institutionto-institution partnerships.

CCScity450 Comunidades, departing from the previous areas of study within CCScity450 Project in 2017, ten sites on spontaneous settlements were selected for further research and possible interventions. This proposal seeks to follow up the 2017-2018 initiatives, developing a new project between 2018 and 2019 focusing on these communities along the valley of the city to develop projects in junction with community programs.

The main purpose of this new exercise is to build a social fabric around community challenges and opportunities, in a project that seeks to strengthen citizenship through building public, meeting spaces, supported by community-based programs and public and private institutions.

FUNDAMENTAL THEMES CCScity450 Comunidades is based on four funtamental themes, which are:

THE BARRIO IS PART OF THE CITY For the purposes of this project, the Barrio is understood as an integral part of the city since, like many other areas, it is the product of a spontaneous social structure derived from a historical need for housing in the context of Venezuelan cities.

Assuming that Barrios are part of city means recognizing their urban conditions and their characteristics from a morphological and human point of view, understanding that their uniqueness of spaces also lie in their values. Spaces in which density favors the approach of their communities, but at the same time the need to protect existing public spaces and create new opportunities for recreation, enjoyment and encounter.

Inevitably, as self-produced settlements in the city, there are conflicts or needs in terms of services or infrastructure which can be improved or taken care of accordingly. This is done with the participation of experts in the field but, above all, representatives of the communities, since they are the ones who know best about its operation.

INTER-SCHOOL GAITAS Inter-school Gaitas Festival consists in competitions among performance groups that present a show that includes traditional venezuelan music, dance, theater, costume and escenography. These groups are essentially composed by teenagers (who usually do not know how to play music) and their directors.

As a musician, I am one of the directors of the group of Mater Salvatoris School’ Gaitas. I am responsible for teaching music, coordinating, and directing almost thirty teenagers, which demands a strong sense of leadership and strong personality. November and December are specially straining months because numerous competitions are held among schools, and only three winners out of 20 Gaitas groups are chosen. Each year, we have stood out as one of the best.
