“Soleil, que me veux-tu?”: Protección climática en la Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas

The Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas, designed by Carlos Raúl Villanueva, exemplifies innovative climate-responsive architecture that integrates protective elements such as brise-soleil and concrete blocks, drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier's designs. A study combining documentary, photographic, planimetric analysis, and bibliographic reviews reveals how these features evolved between 1945 and 1950, reflecting both modernist aesthetics and climate adaptation in tropical contexts. The research highlights the site's role as a symbol of Venezuela's modernist identity, blending technical functionality with cultural heritage.
