VERONICA GONZALEZ
|Architect and visual artist from Caracas, Venezuela.
My work explores the experience of public space as a social and urban activator, with landscape design as a connector between the urban and architectural scale.
My ideas are based on the geometric contrast of shapes and materiality as a design factor, but always trying to maintain harmony with the context.
The sketch and architectural visualization are my allies to express my ideas, and with them their transformation and development.
Thebeginning. From a very young age, curiosity forged a path of experiences that helped me make important decisions in my life; the curiosity to see, feel, do. From an early age I understood that I loved the feeling of freedom that a pencil and paper gave me, the freedom to create
and transform. Through drawing, concerns and thoughts necessary for the creative process arise.
Architecture, art and teaching have been paths and manifestations in my concerns, between society and the city.

LIVING
PASSAGES
The arc and the plane as a form, an intermission as an envelope, a space to stop, an encounter. Connection on and for the street.
RETURNING TO THE SEA
THE LIGHTNESS OF THE LANDSCAPE.
And if we get rid of the body and return to the environment, between the sublime of space and the ephemeral of the spirit?

CONTEST
The program works by organizing two areas, one for the sale of sportswear, food and snacks, the other serves as a bar and cafeteria.
The roof on both structures slopes down the hill and channels water into a channel built into the structure. The water is collected, stored and used to irrigate the vegetation on the hill. Inside, the roof slopes from the front beam towards the enclosure of the structure and the entrance door.
