Glass

In Caracas, glass has been frequently used in construction. There are many buildings in our city which facades are entirely made out of glass. Also, in Caracas the main use of glass is in windows. As a window, glass becomes one of the most important architectural elements in the design of any project. There are many buildings in Caracas that have totally glass facades, but because of our weather, glass is not the best material to use due to its properties; for instance, if glass is not well used, it could make the place hotter. On the other hand, it can be used in order to ventilate interior spaces and to connect and communicate interior and exterior places, thanks to its transparency. Through glass people inside buildings can have the city views and also be protected from the exterior conditions without being completely disconnected.  media type="file" key="Yoshira_glass.mp3"
