ART LANDSCAPE. Communitarian Art Center.

This project is all about landscaping, is located in a terrain in Terrazas Del Avila (Caracas, Venezuela). The main topic of the terrain is the natural condition of a hill, were the landscape is related with the Avila, and is surrounded with residential buildings that have mostly 12 floors or more. So the principal answer to solving the problem of locating a community center of art is really simple. We have to be located reinforcing the natural condition of the terrain. The client is the community. So the main problem is to create a common space that aloud the interconnection of other residential buildings with the complex.

The way.

With some previous study of the cube, a geometric form; through repetition, extension or even addition it has to be generated this art complex. This complex has to count with public spaces, that aloud people to relate in this macro space, private spaces for the artists to work, exposition spaces, a store, a bibliotheca, an open theater, and a coffee shop. The project is basically developed in an L; form with three punctual buildings (basic cube form), and an horizontal element that is form by repeating the previous proportion of the basic cube; by four, that relate the entire space, and aloud to create public spaces between them, and private spaces in the interior of the buildings. The main idea is to use the natural condition of the curve in the terrain to develop some cements band, which provides the complex with spaces to walk, and communicate the different areas. The firs part of the complex is form by three cubes, located forming an honest line direction, where are located the administration area, store, and work spaces for the artist with they respective deposit areas. The last part of the complex is the horizontal building that communicates itself with a public park of the zone, and completes the composition creating a closed circuit, for people to recognize it. In this building are the exposition spaces, the bibliotheca, and an audiovisual theater. As the main concern of the client is to maintain the trees or even adding more to the proposal, the landscape is providing the complex with a really tropical sensation, were the trees line up with the proportion of the building creating in areas a sort of forest and in other areas, lines that exalt the curve condition of the sidewalks. The open theater is communicating the lowest part of the terrain with the tallest part, working as a tension element between them, and locating itself as a center piece of the complex.

Work Materials. The construction system use is the post and lintel, which creates grate openings and the building relate itself in a totalitarian way with the entire context. Materials are wood and glass, wood was selected because of it renewable condition, and capacity of bending with the context that provides. Glass, brings transparence to the creation, and communicates the four buildings.

This art center stands for landscaping; using the elements that terrain has within itself. Brings people a common space were they can relate; a recreation space for kids, adult people and older people. Is also an educational center that provides an amazing space, rich in nature and developed of great buildings. Is a delimit space in the city, that brings new options of recreation with reinforcing the environment.
