<p>Villanueva was born in London, he grew up and was educated in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and was acquainted with the contemporary artists of the Parisian Avant-garde. In 1929 he founded his own architectural office in Caracas, where he designed and realised many large buildings including the university campus in Caracas which consists of approximately 100 buildings; the lecture theatre with its curved white ceiling from which large colored tiles from Calder are suspended is particularly remarkable. In addition he designed the Olympic stadium and housing estates. Villanueva's architecture combines the radical style of Modernism with a dynamic and personal use of color and form. Concrete is much in evidence in his work and he lays great value on allowing the structural elements to become visible in expressive forms.

Geboren in London, aufgewachsen und ausgebildet in Paris an der Ecole des Beaux-Arts, befreundet mit den zeitgenössischen Künstlern der Pariser Avantgarde, gründete Villanueva 1929 sein Architekturbüro in Caracas. Dort entwarf und realisierte er große Bauten, u.a. die Universitätsstadt in Caracas mit rund 100 Gebäuden, unter denen die Große Aula mit ihrer geschwungenen weißen Decke und den unter ihr hängenden farbigen geformten Platten von Calder besonders beachtenswert ist, ferner das Olympiastadion und Wohnsiedlungen. Er verband die Radikalität moderner Architektur mit sehr persönlicher kraftvoller Dynamik in den Formen und Farben. Er arbeitete viel mit Sichtbeton und legte großen Wert darauf, die konstruktiven Elemente in expressiven Formen sichtbar werden zu lassen.
