The Dwellers: The Integration of Art and the Architecture in the Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas

A groundbreaking shift in architectural design is highlighted in the study of Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas, where Carlos Villanueva's approach to integrating arts evolved from a traditional 'synthesis' to an innovative 'integration.' This transformation involved creating a cohesive architectural-sculptural-pictorial organism that prioritized functional and spatial elements equally, moving away from hierarchical structures. The research emphasizes how this integration opened new avenues for experimentation in modern art within architecture, marking a significant departure from conventional practices.
