University City of Caracas
University City of Caracas, University campus in San Pedro, Venezuela
The University City of Caracas extends across a vast area with modernist buildings, covered walkways, and integrated botanical gardens within its grounds.
Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva directed the campus construction from 1940 to 1960, creating an educational center that reflects mid-20th century architectural principles.
The campus integrates numerous art installations and sculptures by international artists, including Alexander Calder's suspended work 'Clouds' in the covered plaza.
The university grounds contain academic facilities, sports venues, an Olympic stadium with 24,000 seats, and extensive botanical gardens featuring tropical plant species.
The Venezuela Lagoon within the campus forms the shape of the country, serving as both a water feature and a symbolic representation of national identity.
