Through the social network Instagram, the Institute
of Cultural Heritage (IPC) reported that it fined the dean of the Faculty of Legal and
Political Sciences of the aforementioned university, Juan Apitz
Barbera, for carrying out an unauthorized intervention in the building of the Faculty of Humanities and Education, attached to
the Central University of Venezuela (UCV).
The IPC indicated that the dean installed
two air conditioners in the southeastern corner of the
building, an action that caused damage to the architectural heritage.
In this regard, he pointed out that according to
administrative order number 017-2024, the fine was established at 9,000
bolivars, the maximum sanction under the Law on the Protection and Defense of Cultural Heritage.
In addition, he noted that it requires the
restoration of the affected area within two months, with an estimated cost
of 500 dollars.
He noted that the process for compensation
for damages will be supervised by the
UCV Preservation and Development Council (COPRED) and the IPC. In turn, he specified that the replacement of the
architectural element will be subject to the presentation of a project, which
must contain historical, aesthetic, and evaluative references to the context or
building in which it is located, as well as a description of the
construction component, assessment of the deterioration, diagnosis and proposal for restorative intervention.
He recalled that any intervention in the University City of Caracas, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and Monument of the Nation, must have the prior approval of the COPRED and the authorization of the IPC.
