Glass

Paragraph

The use of glass in architecture and urban planning in Caracas has gained importance in the last 10 years. A few years ago, glass buildings would be an utopian thinking, but right now is more usual to see this kind of buildings. We can see this kind of structures for example in the Millenium mall which presents a very avant-garde design and almost all of the sights are basically made of glass; or in the new Digitel tower located in La Castellana which all of its front facade is made of glass.



Glass has allowed us to bring the exterior to the interior of any building, providing amplitude, and natural light to every space. This is one of the reasons why glass has gained importance. When you can have natural light in one space you do not need to turn on any other artificial light and this is why you can save energy, so important for the moment the country and the planet is passing through in energy stuff.media type="file" key="glass.wma" width="300" height="45"
