 * Purposes **

The first podcast refers to urban design as the art of creating places; wich goes from buildings to towns and even cities. I agree with this because I think the urban designers are meant to organize the space, and create some order that provide our cities and us, comfort and practicity. The second podcast tells us that architecture began as a shelter, the way the people back in time found to protect themselves from nature. I think this is very logical but I also think that as we evolved, architecture evolved with us and found new purposes.

Well I believe these two careers are deeply united. For instance, architecture mostly takes care of the buildings, their characteristics, purposes, effects and how __it__ interacts with the people and __in other hand__ urban design must arrange these buildings in order to properly interact with the city or the environment on __wich they relay__.
 * COMPARING AND CONTRASTING **

Regarding to our city I believe Caracas needs to grow a lot in both aspects. I think it has a bad city planning that jams us everyday in never-ending traffic and creates many other problems. It also has really bad designed buildings that might even be dangerous, not to mention thousands of “ranchos” __wich__ mostly have no minimal services for human inhabiting.
