Displayed photographs at the UCV are just a small sample of an outstanding Modern Movement in Architecture. More images about the university campus should be included, for instance, the Aula Magna, Sports City, exterior and interior of faculties, facilities, institutes, rooms, gardens, sculptures, without forgetting murals, stained-glass windows and additional sublime details. More information about the world heritage Caracas University City can be obtained from the Consejo de Preservación y Desarrollo (COPRED). The author recommends reading the book "En busca de lo sublime: Villanueva y la Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas" from the professor Silvia Hernández de Lasala (COPRED-UCV, 2006).
