Purposes

Purposes of the architecture and the Urban Planning   ==Architecture certainly began with the need of humans to seek refuge; according to the materials the environment provided and the natural conditions, the __builds__ BUILDINGS took their forms and characteristics. The architecture was developed as the art of making a comfortable and pleasant place for those who lived in this setting and this became in the fundamental principle of the career. It is with the evolution of cultures and societies that started the need to take into account the context in which each of these places are habitable, requiring an order, a harmonious disposition of the elements, creating a relationship with the landscape, among other things. In consequence the need to homogenize the environment pushed to the creation of a different field of study devoted exclusively to this, the urban planning. That focuses on managing the city as a whole and aims to create places and spaces. The urban planning is aimed at exploring the city, to create an appropriate set for each society. For many years planners have discussed the individualism of the architectonic __builds__ CONSTRUCTIONS, as __it__ THEY __does__ DO not consider the space surrounding it.==

==Although both areas are working at different scales (the architects a micro scale “internal spaces” and the urban planners in a macro scale “external spaces”) and have apparently different objectives, we can see that both seek to create internal and external spaces appropriate for each society, taking into account its sustainability over time.==

==Analyzing the urban development and architecture of Caracas, we see a great contrast and diversity, and we realize that most of the city's architecture hasn’t emerged as a product itself, but as a result of ownership and influence from the architecture of other societies. The urban growth of Caracas, although in its early stages was planned in grid, it had an organic growth that did not achieve a perfect town (improvised) which causes problems such as road’s congestion and overpopulation. In my opinion, Caracas is a city with an individualistic sense, __which__ WHERE can see the lack of organization and the improvisation in its constructions...==
