Architecture & Designe|| EL ÁRBOL PARA VIVIR , una obra de arquitectura bioclimática.

Una de las premisas de la arquitectura bioclimática se centra en planear construcciones que respeten el medio ambiente y que aprovechen al máximo los recursos naturales para ofrecer mejor calidad de vida a los seres vivos, además de ser estructuras sustentables con materiales de bajo costo.
En cuanto a la parte estética, la idea es que estas edificaciones
se integren con el entorno y brinden espacios armónicos, saludables y confortables a sus habitantes.

All this work is designed taking into account environmental aspects, from sunlight, ventilation and the incorporation of vegetation of the area, since it is located very close to the beach. All these factors make this building to be within the standards of bioclimatic architecture, being one of the pioneers of this modality in Venezuela.

One of the premises of bioclimatic architecture focuses on planning buildings that respect the environment and make the most of natural resources to provide better quality of life for living beings, in addition to being sustainable structures with low-cost materials.
In terms of aesthetics, the idea is that these buildings should be integrated with their surroundings and provide a better quality of life for living beings.
integrate with their surroundings and provide harmonious, healthy and comfortable spaces for their inhabitants.

Fruto Vivas, whose full name is José Fructoso Vivas Vivas, is the author of this emblematic work of the State of Anzoátegui. He is a Venezuelan architect known for demonstrating his concern for the environment and society in each of his architectural works. He is also the author of the book "Las casas más sencillas" ("The simplest houses"), in which he raises the importance of building houses with light, fresh and economical materials.

One of his best known works is the "Venezuelan Pavilion" in the shape of an orchid with which he participated in the Universal Exposition of Hannover 2000, which is currently located in the city of Barquisimeto.

Fruto Vivas received many awards and honors during his lifetime for his constant concern for the environment and human welfare, more than for the aesthetics of his works. He passed away in the city of Caracas in August 2022 at the age of 94.

De toda mi investigación sobre este tema, resuena en mi cabeza esta frase del escritor y filosofo español Miguel de Unamuno: "El que intenta lo absurdo, conquista lo imposible". Esta frase fue usada por el arquitecto Fruto Vivas en varias de sus conferencias cuando planteaba sus ideas tan innovadoras y diferentes respecto a la arquitectura bioclimática. Hoy puedo decir que he aprendido términos y conceptos nuevos que hacen que sienta aún más admiración por las personas que eligen la arquitectura como profesión y estilo de vida.

Gracias por leer, saludos y bendiciones.

From all my research on this subject, this phrase of the Spanish writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno resonates in my head: "He who attempts the absurd, conquers the impossible". This phrase was used by the architect Fruto Vivas in several of his lectures when he presented his innovative and different ideas about bioclimatic architecture. Today I can say that I have learned new terms and concepts that make me feel even more admiration for people who choose architecture as a profession and lifestyle.

Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.
