Residente pulido (Polished Resident)

Residente pulido (Polished Residents) consist in buildings that were built by Europeans during the years of modernity (1930-1960) in Caracas. By deleting all access to the buildings, architecture seems to have lost its function. As antique monoliths, molds of machines or bunkers prepared for an upcoming disaster, communities are excluded or trapped into the building of a dream that turned nightmare. In its day, the constructions were named after European cities (Meissen, Rosenthal, Limoges, Capodimonte, Sèvres, Royal Copenhagen and Lladró). Today, these names add a sense of geographic disorientation.
