Urban Landmark / East Tower
Caracas, Venezuela, 2011–2012
Antenna Skyscraper is an urban landmark intervention for the East Tower of Parque Central, one of the tallest concrete skyscrapers in Latin America.
Conceived as a vertical marker for the skyline of Caracas, the project transforms the tower’s crown into a metropolitan signal: an element of orientation, visibility and identity at the scale of the city.
At 255 metres high, the intervention operates between infrastructure and symbol. Rather than adding an isolated object, the antenna becomes part of the tower’s urban presence — extending its silhouette and reinforcing its role within the collective image of Caracas.
