RE: Architecture+Design Community Contest: World Architecture Day | Aula Magna (Central University of Venezuela) — UCV Caracas

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Hi @storiesoferne thanks for visiting my post and welcome me to this community.

Isn't it an enormous honor to be part of Venezuela's most iconic university?

Yes, it is an university where a lot of people would like to study or to visit at least. It was a special day, with the company of my collegues and my family. It is the dream of all students of UCV, and I was very affortunate to reach that goal, with the help and support of my family and friends.

It is also a shame that the university is not in the best conditions right now. Classes are suspended and the university, including the Aula Magna are in serious deterioration. The venezuelan crisis and the Covid pandemic have affect in a serious way the maintenance of the university. However, some restaurations have been made recently, although the whole university requires a deeper maintenance.

The fact that UCV is a World Heritage by UNESCO does not help because in order to made restorations there is a lot of burocracy and regulations. There is no way for graduates to organize and make donations or maintenance by private hands, it is not allowed.

I hope that in the next few years this university will once again be able to function as it should and that it will once again shine as it did in its best years.

Thanks for commenting, best regards!

Yes, that's true. The UCV is a world heritage landmark and must be conserved for future generations to enjoy. We fervently hope that all efforts towards its complete restoration would be realized. Cheers!
