Rhythm_Architecture

= Colonial Architecture in Venezuela is a good example of rhythm. As we see in the picture there is a repetition of shapes by using the same type of window on the facade, causing the illusion of one unique building when actually there are several houses with the same style. = media type="custom" key="19780392" = = = The work of Carlos Raul Villanueva represents every kind of rhythm as we can see in this picture of the "23 de Enero" buildings. On every facade there are repetition of shapes, dimensions and differences. The shapes follow the same pattern on the vertical way, but horizontally the module change and repeats following a different pattern. = = media type="custom" key="19780526" = = Once again Carlos Raul Villanueva uses rhythm by taking one unique shape as a module; the square, which is changed with different colors or even receding the walls as we see on the picture of the "Paraiso" Buildings. This way every horizontal section of the facade follows its own pattern making it a very interesting composition. =
