09. International Musical Complex and Urban Environment Competition
The architecture competition for the International
Musical Complex and urban Environment provides the
opportunity to develop an area of great importance for
the consolidation of the Venezuelan music system.
My proposal for this competition aims to be a
platform to enable the international exchange and projection
of national talent. To achieve these purposes,
the complex is designed to perform various activities,
which were organized within a volume set, to supply
many functions inherent to orchestral activities such as,
concerts, essays, study halls, warehouses, administrative
offices, among others.
slope terrain in order to propose a basement-building
with many levels connecting the boulevard and park.
Finally, this Musical Complex merges the northern
front of a more urban character with the south side
framed by the park and surroundings. A building where
musicians can be inspired by the environment hopping
become the place of reference for music, youth, nature
and citizens.

The volume located on the east side of the site,
conforms the building of the Music Complex. It is a
nine-story building containing 3 public spaces such as
audio library. Reproduction and digitization are located
at ground level. Most of this building is intended for
rehearsal and study for the musicians of the nation’s
system of youth orchestras, therefore, these spaces are
separated from each other by insulated double walls.
The three white floating volumes that make up the
concert halls are located at different levels, each with
independent access and services. The spaces resulting
from its forms and their location, demarcate the entrance
to the complex and opens it to the Caobos Park. It is
aimed to maintain the connection between the Amador
Bendayán Boulevard and Caobos Park creating an
open space that invites passerby to visit and enjoy.
The basement is generated taking advantage of the
