The+Purposes+of+Architecture

 **From the beginning, the architecture's purpose has been to give shelter to people and their belongings, protecting them from other people, the climate and also to indicate status. But always having in mind the design, which involves the distribution, comfort, beauty and harmony of the place.** **Otherwise, urban planning is all about organizing the city. **
 * When it comes to comparisons between architecture and urban design, they both are pretty similar. **
 * Both, the architect and the urban planner design places and give them beauty, comfort and harmony, so it is pleasant for everyone to see them and to be in them. **
 * The architects are focused on smaller places than the urban panners are focused on. For example: an architect designs a house, while the urban planner designs the whole city, its organization: the places where the streets, the buildings and the houses will be. **
 * - How does Caracas stand in terms of architecture and urban planning? **
 * In my opinion, Caracas is a city without any organization. So I think there's a lack of urban planners. It was a really small city and it has been growing according to the amount of people who are moving in, because of that, it is a completely disorganized city. But I don't think it's someone's fault. It is just an unplanned city or a city that was not expected to have this amount of people .**
 * Even though Caracas is not organized, if you look really deeply into it you can find really amazing architecture developments, such as: Las Torres de Parque Central, el Museo de Bellas Artes, el Teatro Teresa Carreno, and so on .**
