Comparing+and+Contrasting

Architecture, as Urban Planning, creates spaces in behalf of the people. But order than that, they are very opposite. Each one has a look in different scale. The latter searches for the good of Society. Their Challenge is to create “a place that will be used and enjoyed by a wide range of different people for different purposes”. Unlike Architecture, that works for a specific client and his needs. Other differences are the aim. The works of urban planning are more medium and long term. As opposed to Architecture, that creates for the moment.

Caracas, in my opinion, is a city that has so much potential as problems. Because of the migration of many different groups, national and international, it has different styles and different point of views. The City is a Chaos. It has had many strategies to order the different “urban plans” that exist inside of it. But it was left half way. And in Architecture, the golden years are gone. It´s a shame because you read in magazines what we were and could have been; and now, little of our work is post in international paper. We are no longer the city of the Future. But that doesn´t mean that we couldn´t be.
