Urban Analysis
Conclusions from the Analysis
The area of study is most of all residential and it maintains a general unification according to the architectural style:
-Colors: light and warm colors like beige, white, mustard yellow, grey, and light brown.
-Rhythm: the facades are very plain and classic style, they also have a very similar high the ones next to each other which makes a harmonic rhythm
Unique aspects:
-The facades look united in style but the windows and cornices are different on each floor which makes an interesting movement.
-Unique special facades like the two murals: Zielona Symfonia and Opowieść śródecka z trębaczem na dachu i kotem w tle, what gives to the area interesting spots.
-Modern buildings in contrast to the surroundings like the Museum and the residential building on the top picture
The Plot is located in a quiet area because in that street is no tram or bus passing, it’s an area most residential.
It is very well communicated by tram and bus to any part of the city with 7 lines of tram.
It is very near to the Warta River which is a great advantage for having contact with green and open recreational spaces.
The area is mostly residential but it counts with religious spaces and also entertainment like the theater and museum.
According to the architectural style of the buildings in the area, it maintains a very similar rhythm and is very unified, with some exceptions that give character and point of interest to the area.

Objectives of the Project
In actuality and for some years, in Venezuela and specifically in the municipality of Maracaibo, exists a demand for possible solutions to the problem of the deficit of education facilities, and as a result the rate of dissertations of elementary studies.
The following work tries to contribute to an ideal of a public school model, where all their participants are able to study from kinder garden to high school, in the same way, they can enjoy all the spaces needed for a good education, as well as areas for recreation, culture and sports, giving the students a safe environment where to develop activities and recreate after the school hours. Aiming to provide all the resources and spaces that are basic necessities to study and feel motivated

Urban population services
The area is mostly residential (yellow), but there are also improvised residential areas in the lower part (grey), the Red is commercial Buildings and the blue is a Educational building
The sector has a dispersed fine grain, where you can see small buildings whose use is mostly single-family homes, with minimal exceptions isolated from one another and in certain areas placed in a dispersed distribution without any planning.

Urban-architectural heritage values
Among the most important heritage values of the sector we have the stilt houses (Palafitos) which are typical of the area and are the identity of the sector, these are settled on piles located on the shores of Lake Maracaibo, their design is adapted to the climate of the area and this is basically built by materials found in the area which quickly adapt to the particular conditions of the coast These houses can be found in isolation from each other or connected by walkways made of wooden planks, they are also communicated by small canoes which are used for fishing

Opportunity's
-The sector has large lands.
- It is a sector influenced by important heritage values in Zulia.
-It is in the process of urban development.
-It is close to the Lake so it is thermally pleasant.
- It is a sector with little lighting in certain areas.
- Regarding white water services, these are not constant.
-There is only one main avenue that passes through one side of the sector, all its secondary roads are narrow.
- You can make a free proposal since you have large land.
-As the project is a cultural complex, possible connections with the mangroves of the sector can be done, these being Zulia's environmental heritage.
-Being a purely residential sector and without nearby public educational institutes, it is possible to make school routes that reach the complex and thus change the urban and educational structure of the sector.
- It is a sector prone to flooding due to its proximity to the Lake.
Threats
- In areas that are not yet populated there is insecure.
- It is a sector with accessibility problems.
- It is a sector that does not have many areas where its buildings face the main avenue, so a building of great importance could be "hidden".
Another great heritage value are the beautiful Mangroves located on both sides of the plot and also the Lake of Maracaibo.
Master Plan Proposal
Based on the diagnosis made, a proposal plan was prepared, where the changes that are considered necessary in the sector are displayed, and likewise a legend where each symbology used in the plan is specified
New main avenues, which have two channels (round trip) and an islandforpedestriansof2meters
New secondary streets, have two channels (round trip) and a 070 meterisland
New traffic lights at 6-way intersections

Concept of the Project
This project also intent to provide knowledge about Maracaibo's culture and its main characteristics as the “Palafitos” placed on the shore of the Lake Palafitos are a traditional dwelling construction from the indigenes that consist in houses that are located on the water as the lake and are elevated on top of a series of columns on the water.
Kaleidoscopic
Use the colors of a Kaleidoscope in the Design of the facades and the interior design
Use the ground floor free adding Columns that imitate the aesthetic of the Palafitos
