===Glass is usually used in buildings as transparent windows, internal glazed partitions and as architectural features.Glass is often used as a structural material in beams and columns. Glass is used also in the form of fins for wind reinforcement. However, glass is rather fragile and it tends to shatter upon localized impact, this limits its use in columns and beams.===

=== In Caracas many buildings have used glass in their structures. For example, the tallest buildings in Caracas: “Parque Central” was constructed with glass and concrete. Glass was used for the windows which cove**rs** almost the entire structure and concrete was used for walls and of course to provide stability. Another building is “Centro Lido” which was made mainly of glass and aluminium. Some other buildings such as “Torre Banesco” and “Centro Parque Canaima” have used glass in almost the entire structure."Parque Cristal" is another building that has glass facade, but in this case, this is counterproductive, because the "Parque Del Este" is right in front, this has been causing that **the** vegenta**tio**n **of the** park is burning. ===
