I do not speak the native tongue however so am having a challenging time trying to decode the threads on these boards!

I am specifically after images of Caracas Vernacular and shots of the squatter tower.

Once I have completed sufficient research there will be an article revolving around the topic placed on here:

Thank-you

Well it depenes on how much you have in your bank's account :lol: thanks for your interest but you may ask this on the "Arquitectura y discusiones urbanas" subforum since lots of information is there.

I hope I could help you out but im not a caracas citizen tho i've been there many times.. for me it's kinda cool and kind of a pain in the balls being in that city because of the traffic and generally collapsed public infrastructure

BTW you posted something in your website.. "Abandoned 45story tower becomes slum dwelling
Venezuala" actually it's VenezUEla :D

Cheers

Indeed it does, that's kind of you to say!

Your reply is helpful to me,

Would you mind elaborating on the situation of the public infrastructure in Caracas?

Thanks
