Glass


 * GLASS IN CARACAS**

Glass is a very usefull material in architecture, because it can be used for spaces that can't be entirely open, but need a view, light or some kind of comunication with the outside. When an architect needs to separate two spaces, but keeping relation between them it can be a posibility to built a glass wall instead of a concrete or any other material wall. It also can be used for making windows or stained-glass windows. I think glass in Caracas can be observed in almost every churches in stained-glass windows representing religious images. That, I think, is the most common use that appears all over this city for glass. But also there are many buildings around the city that has glass facades like Parque Cristal, Millenium Mall or the Torre Polar. It is also used for regular windows like almost every building in the world and in the case mention earlier in this text about separating spaces keeping the comunication between them it can be observed in family houses or the inside of office buildings.
