Aula Magna, Concert hall at University City of Caracas, Venezuela
The Aula Magna features precise acoustics with ceiling panels that distribute sound evenly throughout the performance space to every seat in the auditorium.
Carlos Raúl Villanueva designed this modernist structure in 1953 as part of his vision for an integrated campus at the Central University of Venezuela.
The ceiling installation consists of suspended metal objects called 'Flying Saucers' created by Alexander Calder, combining architectural function with artistic expression.
The concert hall maintains regular programming of classical music performances, academic ceremonies, and cultural events throughout the academic year.
The acoustic clouds suspended from the ceiling serve both as sound reflectors and as temperature regulators for the performance space.
