¿Brasilia? ¿The city that looks like a place leaved by UFOs?

You are so right, Brasilia looks like some martian was the architect of the whole city, it just looks too cold and uninviting to actually feel like a functioning city. Maybe interesting for some photoshoot but definitely not to live in.

Caracas would be a very interesting city if they painted all the slum housing white to make the city look like a winter wonderland in the brutal tropics of Latin America.

NASA engineers were sent to the Brazilian savannah to evaluate a site that would resemble a future colonization of Mars. Its an open secret that the city itself is a living experiment of a new space age architecture that is in line with minimalistic aesthetics, something parallel to some fantasy from the Jetsons. I think its groovy.

I am convinced that tourists and visitors from the developed nations find our poverty to be alarming and unacceptable but it is the spirit of our people that they simply cannot forget that always brings them coming back. It is not something to be proud of our social tensions and horrid urban planning but it sure is something to remember and fight for.
