Detrás de los conflictos políticos y una crisis económica que hoy caracterizan a Venezuela, se encuentra en su capital una joya escondida de los años 1950, que es la arquitectura. Para Caracas, fue una década mágica. Un periodo que coincidió además “con la llegada de inmigrantes europeos”, por lo que nacieron proyectos a manos de arquitectos y artistas de renombre mundial. Según Paulina Villanueva, hija del arquitecto Carlos Raúl Villanueva: “Fue una generación de intelectuales, de arquitectos que tenían una visión de futuro y que pensaban que en la sociedad venezolana ese futuro era posible. Y (al final) no lo fue”.Por Amaranta Zermeno Jimenez. Texto Completo-> Euronews

Behind the political conflicts and an economic crisis that characterize Venezuela today, there is a hidden gem from the 1950s in its capital, which is architecture. For Caracas, it was a magical decade. A period that also coincided “with the arrival of European immigrants”, for which projects were born at the hands of world-renowned architects and artists. According to Paulina Villanueva, daughter of the architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva:”It was a generation of intellectuals, of architects who had a vision of the future and who thought that in Venezuelan society that future was possible. And (in the end) it was not.”
