Uploaded on 2020-08-08 by Norbelly Pulido
Among the visible information we can see the contrast between big and little houses some of the houses have an attractive facade and an interesting structure, and some others do not. As we can observe, those houses are rounded by nature. On the other hand, the invisible information contains that because of the good economy that Venezuela had before the chavista governments, and World War II, many foreign people moved to Venezuela and brought some of their cultures, just like the way they built their houses. Europeans likely moved to cold weather places such as San Diego de los Altos, thus we started to see big houses clad in materials like stone, wood and brick. But as the economy was declining, the people have had less resources to build comfortable and planned houses, therefore, the small or incomplete houses appeared. Other aspects we can highlight is that the people don't need big houses anymore, now big and green places are needed; because of the economic crisis, people had to find other ways to earn money, and thanks to the environment and the big natural places, they started to buy and to bring back the agronomy.
