Marcos Coronel, Stevenson Piña, Gabriel Visconti, Ricardo Sanz and Rodrigo Marín, were the architects who designed the project
The Community Facilities System was nominated for the 2022 edition of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (Mchap) organized by the Faculty of Architecture of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, with the aim of recognizing excellence in architectural works developed in America during the last ten years.
The Community Facilities System is a comprehensive rehabilitation project between the Los Frailes de Catia neighborhood and El Ávila National Park in Caracas, designed by architects Marcos Coronel, Stevenson Piña, Gabriel Visconti, Ricardo Sanz and Rodrigo Marín.
The project implemented a series of new community spaces: a sports field, a civic center and a square, mitigation works, walls and structural elements, renovations of existing houses and constructions, aimed at correcting the conditions of the neighborhood and its relationship with the place. .
The Mchap was founded in 2012 in the United States with the premise of exalting “those built works that recognize the altered circumstances of the human condition.”
The project will be evaluated along with 200 other projects from all over the continent, by a jury made up of Sandra Barclay (Peru), Mónica Bertolino (Argentina), Alejandro Echeverri (Colombia) and Julie Eizenberg, Philip Kafka and Dirk Denison from the United States. Mcap’s award ceremony will be in 2023.
