Concierto cromático y diagrama de flujos : Carlos Raúl Villanueva : Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas

A doctoral thesis by Daniel Danés Grases reveals the chromatic harmony and fluid dynamics underlying Carlos Raúl Villanueva's iconic Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas. Through an innovative analysis combining color theory and flow diagrams, the study deciphers how Villanueva's architectural design integrates visual rhythm and spatial movement to create a cohesive urban experience. The research employs a dual approach: chromatic analysis to dissect color relationships across buildings, and fluid dynamics modeling to map pedestrian flows within the campus. This method uncovers the site's underlying structural logic, demonstrating how color and circulation patterns form an interconnected 'chromatic concert.' The findings not only advance understanding of modernist architecture but also offer insights into the spatial organization of UNESCO-listed cultural landscapes.
