Rhythm_architecture

In Venezuela exist a variety of buildings with different kind of rhythms, but one of the places where they concentrate all types of rhythms is "Universidad Central de Venezuela". I will explain each of them.

-Repetition of shapes: in some walls in the passage we can see repetition of squares and rectangles, which illuminates the corridors.

-Repetition of dimensions:  the majority of the corridors in the university have the same dimension, the columns are equally spaced one from the other.

-Repetition of differences:  in the engineer faculty we can see walls formed by different colors and irregular rectangles, this shapes are disposed in different places, so the wall design is asymmetric and unique.

-Rhythm indefinite and open:  the roofs of the corridors, with its undulated form give the impression that the corridor never ends.

-Rhythm can be definite and closed: each building is different from the other, from far away we can see where begin and end each faculty.

-The rhythm of lines : in the campus we can see to bird view how the undulated lines going for all the university. Other example is the stained glass in the library, that have undulated lines that form interesting shapes.
