Comparison+&+Constrast+(Architecture+-+Urban+Planning)

=** SO SIMILAR, SO DIFFERENT ** =

Architecture and urban planning are careers that can be related because both works with spaces, public areas and other similar variables.

As a diference, architectural design is more artistic than urban design. Even when urban design use creativity and beauty too, architectural design is dedicated to make functional but at first, beautiful spaces. Urban planning is more dedicated to the functionability than beauty and art.

Architecture and urban planning are also related to the point that both careers should take into a count the human's needs to develop projects. To make feel people confortable is one of the purposes of urban planning and architecture. If architecture and urban planning works together as a team they can design an ideal city. The architect designs structures and the urban planner designs and organize the spaces. They can make functional and beauty spaces.

As a contrast, architecture is a career that has existed hundred years ago and urban planning is still a new career with a little more than 25 years of existence.

=**WHAT ABOUT CARACAS? **=

I could say that architecture and urban planning in Caracas are getting out of control because even when architectural projects could be good, globally doesn't exists harmony between them. Exists big functional buildings but there's no exists a functional complex of buildings or other constructions. The urban planning part is also chaotic. Meanwhile the city makes bigger everyday, the order is worst, or maybe doesn't exists; maybe the mess is bigger. Caracas was a model city, but now we have a city really hard to fix it.
