 * *GLASS IN OUR COUNTRY* **

Glass is a transparent and a solid material that is used in building construction and urban design. There are various buildings in our Capital City, Caracas, that has the glass in their design, which is not a clever idea because we live in a tropical country, where there are strong beams of the sun that affect more the green areas when they have glass. Some examples of this buildings are the “Parque Central” towers, “Cubo negro”, “Parque Cristal”, “C.C. Sambil”, between others.

According to urban design, one can say that the glass is used in Caracas to decorate the spaces where people circulate in a structure, actually is not very common because people can’t afford it and also because glass should keep a good maintenance of cleanliness.
