====Sometimes architecture evolves enough to talk about style, these changes are caused by technological development, a change in economic conditions or the introduction of a new building material. Glass plays an important role in architecture and urban planning as forming the basis for a new language. ==== ====Over the past centuries thanks to technological advances in the manufacture of glass, it has reduced the glass cost, this will provide architects an inexpensive material that has many possibilities of graphic expression and functional solutions such as lighting or visual communication. Customers are demanding the use of this material because it is durable, low maintenance and has a status of modernity. ==== ====Currently, the use of glass in its various forms has grown extensively and has an important influence on architecture. However, since the early use of this material, problems that occurred with its use were observed, such as solar radiation and the lack of insulation. Le Corbusier proposed a solution to these problems with a wall called Wall Neutralizing this wall is composed of a double layer of glass and an intermediate space in which hot air is injected to keep the building warm, or is injected cool air if the inside of the building must be cold, the objective of this wall is to control the thermal conditions of the building no matter where the building is located. ==== ====Caracas is a city with a mostly sunny and warm weather most of the year; it was initially thought that glass was not a suitable material in construction due to the solar radiation it produces. However, the advance of technology has allowed architects and urban planners the use of glass in different ways on the facades of buildings and interiors in order to take advantage of the properties mentioned above. ====
