Glass


 * Glass in Caracas**

Architecture in Caracas is presented in a variety of forms, we can see a lot of __**housing**__ with similar characteristics and __**between**__ them or near by an exuberant building almost like a __**mounster**__ that __**overshadowed**__ everything. Well, in the __**mayority**__ of the cases those "__**mounsters"**__ have a lot of glass on their facades (the Cubo Negro, Four Seasons Hotel, the towers of Parque Central, for __**examples**__) and on the inside of each one of them, because they're big closed buildings, it needs to be a big air conditioning and ventilation system that can suply all the structure. In Caracas, for residential settlements, glass is normally used for windows, doors and a couple of details to make the building prettier. Now, on __**indoor**__ the building __**it's**__ used for decoration and some furnitures, we don't have that level of development yet to put an entire structure of glass and personaly I think we don't have to.

Most of the glass buildings are for business, but like I said before glass is only used as facade and in some cases like a shell. These buildings are not meant for this tropical climate and as glass is not a cooler material on the inside without the apropiate ventilation or air conditioning system it can be a real hell. This happens when architects __**grabs**__ project ideas from other __**country**__ with a __**diferen**__t __**enviroment**__ and a __**diferent**__ climate, and try to put it here...
