caracas symphony complex
by: adjkm arquitectos
in: caracas, venezuela

Two concert halls ranging between 500 - 1700 seats are wrapped in a vertical louver enclosure, and float over a block embedded in the ground containing a music conservatory and its support spaces.  The form is light yet rigid, perhaps as a response to characteristic of the surrounding vegetation.
