Objetos de reacción poética en la Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas

A groundbreaking analysis reveals that Carlos Raúl Villanueva's architectural designs for the Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas, particularly those from the 1950s, embody a biomorphic approach rooted in poetic intuition. This study demonstrates how these structures challenge traditional rationalism by incorporating fluid, irregular forms inspired by nature and imagination, akin to Le Corbusier's 'objetos à réaction poètique.' The research also explores parallels with Oscar Niemeyer's work, highlighting a shared emphasis on sensuality and expressive innovation in 20th-century architecture. By examining bibliographic, planimetric, and photographic sources, the study traces the evolution of these concepts from their origins to contemporary reinterpretations.
