The Historic Center of Baruta and its surrounding areas are disconnected, specially in the intersection of Bolívar Street and Sucre Street. The Abreu Cultural Center is a new El Sistema’s Headquarters prototype located in this intersection, in which culture and art are included as catalytic activities for the evolution of local identity. This also represents an opportunity to reconnect the urban fragments, acting as a meeting space and cultural agora between the spontaneous and planned settlements. The Abreu Cultural Center has two main buildings: one holds school activities during the morning, while in the afternoon these spaces will be used as art classrooms. The other building will have the largest spaces in the center to hold musical, dance and plastic arts activities, including an underground auditorium. All of these buildings will be linked by public space.
