This project is developed in an area with high population density and lack of public spaces in the city of Caracas, Venezuela.

The former with capacity for a family of four members, and, the second and third one for a six members family.

Architectural Design Convention Centre UCV Enhancing the existing associative urban layout through covered circuits. This design is projected as a cultural and academic expansion of the Central University of Venezuela, which is a major cultural heritage of the country. In this sense, the project seeks to maintain a strong relationship with the existing context but, at the same time, aims to create a new layer of dynamics. The project also explores the different scales needed to host cultural events, academic activities and administratives functions. In the Central University of Venezuela, the covered passages are autonomous entities heavily expresives and the spaces of shade are directly linked to scenaries of colective and public life.
