If we try to remember where have we seen glass architecture we will visualize tall business buildings or a few windows of some homes.// //However, Caracas has some beautiful glass buildings. The most famous is the Central Park Office Tower East. They’re twin 56-story buildings (725 feet, these towers are the highest buildings in Venezuela and they offer a view of the mountain like most of the Caracas tall buildings. // //One of my favorite glass buildings in Caracas is The black cube for being so symmetrical and imposing. This work is known as Banaven Business Center. Macuto Industrias SA was responsible for the construction of the glass which covered 630 square meters. The modern concept of The black cube was proponed for american architect// ** //Philip Johnson// ** //in 1975.//   //Other outstanding works are ‘Parque Cristal’ tower and PDVSA building ‘La Campina’by Franco Micucci D’Alessandri.//  //Glass is an unusual material which can not prevail in places where there is not conservation culture.//
