Résumé en anglais
The place’s spirit extends to the changes of his tangible
morphology. This situation is present in Caño Amarillo, aterritory of Caracas that represents the urban scheme’s first
expansion, transgressing the norm imposed by the colonialsystem. It incarnates the introduction of the spirit of the
Romanticism like bucolic, spontaneous, picturesque and artisanreaction front to the neoclassicism.
At present, the site conserves great part of thisatmosphere, but it has been overcrowded. The absence of criteria
for its valuation, control of its evolutionary continuity and thepopulation growth, has brought like consequence a progressive
deterioration.Recently actions for their recovery like cultural and
tourist nucleus have been undertaken, based on their natural andcultural potentialities. A pilot experience has been conformed by
community, institutions and technicians to achieve the rescue thevalues place and its life quality.
