Statue Of Liberty Falling Apart
Promote the use of wood for building houses and schools
While the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, signs agreements with Belarus to build homes in their country, the Comptroller General of the Bolivarian Republic detected in its annual report of 2009 that were installed as 11 manufactured homes of the thousands that were imported from Uruguay. An agreement signed four years ago, established the firm Metallurgical Union South Industrial SA (Umissa) agreed to sell Venezuela 12,193 prefabricated houses (17% emergence and 87% urban). According to data released by the newspaper El Nacional of Caracas, the Uruguayan company sent many of the homes involved as claimed by the Fund Artigas Bolívar, 45% of the agreed price of about 70.69 million dollars out of a total of $ 155 million.
The Umissa company director, Alejandro Lagrenade, told El País that so far has installed about 3,000 homes in various parts of Venezuela and the rest produce the same number to complete the contract. "The government (of Venezuela) is deciding where to install the rest. The contract remains in force, we need to send some 3,000 homes, everything is perfect," said Lagrenade. 
The employer argued that between 2007 and 2008 we built a housing complex built by Umissa in Maracaibo. In this test offered photographs of the installation. The case recalls a similar episode occurred in June, when thousands of tons of food were spoiled by bureaucratic problems in the Venezuelan ports were nationalized in 2008.

The case recalls a similar episode occurred in June, when thousands of tons of food were spoiled by bureaucratic problems in the Venezuelan ports were nationalized in 2008. In the neighborhood the piece of San Carlos, Cojedes state, an estimated 700 homes are needed, since most residents live on farms. However, in the municipality deposits remain several kits that no one knows where it will end.
time ago a group of women from the neighborhood wanted to take the shed where they keep the houses in Uruguay.
A dozen neighbors settled down and called the local media. The mobilization got the secretary of the governor of San Carlos, Teodoro Bolívar, the attend. "We promised that we deliver these homes very soon," said one of the residents.
The coordinator of the agreement with Uruguay in Cojedes, Baron Winston, told El Nacional that many homes are incomplete.
"The lighting equipment has not arrived. Completions missing some screws. Here's what you have are metal structures and walls," he said.
A government deputy of the National Assembly of Venezuela admitted to El Nacional that "some say no houses were installed because the material was clean. Others because they were not complete. That is the responsibility of those who made the assessment. You can not make an agreement and then say that the materials are not suitable. "

legislator said the informant mistook Umissa houses with houses built on the basis of plastic that are not manufactured by Umissa. The employer explained that the system basically applies constructive uses aluminum, cement and wood.Umissa plant has about 200 workers to manufacture homes. Every time the Venezuelan government decides to start the installation of the houses a team of 16 members of the firm advise to builders Venezuelans.
The businessman said that his family is engaged in the construction of such dwellings for 100 years and did business in 17 countries.
State's figures indicate that the country has a housing deficit of nearly 2 million. President Chavez has signed agreements with five countries, including Uruguay, for the purchase of homes with different characteristics.
Venezuelan Comptroller recommended that the Housing Ministry that country to terminate the contract, are enforceable in accordance with the conditions laid down or making such modifications as deemed necessary.
Cojedes state MPs Teodoro Bolívar quoted the governor to report on the status of home construction agreement with Uruguay and the negotiations in 2006 led his predecessor, Johnny Yanez Rangel.
The former governor is on a photo of a meeting in Uruguay next to Guido Antonini Wilson, a Venezuelan who tried to enter Argentina with a suitcase containing $ 800,000. The episode led to investigations in several countries, including Uruguay.
"We want to know how far the state is involved in the alleged irregularities Cojedes, if you plan to continue building, where claims for breach of agreement. We want Bolivar tell us if you know what happened to a plan that could address the local housing deficit, "he told El Nacional Juan Bautista Pérez, coordinator of the parliamentary bloc.
Antonini: lobbyist in the Chávez
The businesses that had some involvement Venezuelan lobbyist Guido Antonini Wilson, including Umissa, generated rivers of ink in Argentina, Venezuela and Uruguay. In August 2007, Antonini tried to enter in Buenos Aires with a suitcase in which illegally transferred $ 800,000. That money was for the financing of the campaign of the then candidate and current President of Argentina Cristina Fernandez.
That situation, coupled with Antonini Wilson that made six trips to Montevideo from 2007 to 2008, made the nationalist deputies Pablo Abdala, Rodolfo Caram, and Gonzalo Mauricio Novales Cusano asked in November 2008 to investigate the affairs of Antonini in Uruguay. At the time, the Justice also filed a complaint by a former associate of Antonini Wilson about an alleged diversion of $ 18,000,000 to a joint account that the employer had with Lagrenade and two other people.
Testifying before the U.S. Attorney in 2008, Antonini Wilson said that defense spending in the country were funded with money removed from a bank account Umissa.
In an interview with the daily Clarín, Antonini said it was "common knowledge" that were paid bribes in Argentina to do business. As stated by the Venezuelan businessman Claudio Uberti, a former official of the Ministry of Planning during the administration of Néstor Kirchner in the neighboring country, had set up an office in Caracas where he was responsible for collecting "tolls".

The race for solar superiority is based primarily on two things - the cost and efficiency. Recently, discoveries have sprung up all over, what will make solar energy cheaper and more efficient in the future but the future does not help us much now at this time. Now it appears the company 1366 Technologies of Lexington, Massachusetts - introduced a system to reduce the cost of solar panels by 40% and just received $ 20 million to market.

AUYANET - What are the main challenges when developing sustainable architecture projects as needs go home by the absence of any type to be?
"For starters, assume that the context in which such projects are given varies everywhere, of course not the same in Minnesota in Montevideo. However, both variables can and must be supplemented. Housing solutions must accompany the energy savings, which ultimately becomes a savings for the government. When looking for low-impact material, in fact this should be low impact and energy costs. Water conservation or concerns about the health of the people who occupy something that housing plays a key role, are some of these challenges. You can create affordable housing and sustainable. - What are the main aspects of what is known as affordable housing? 
"First, maximizing space, building homes that are as small as possible. Of course this is always taking into account the number of members of each house. There are changes that are actually very simple and easy to implement, for example, provide this type of houses in a thick insulation, which allows less interference from weather. We must also make a special development in the pipes of the houses, to develop to retain water better, that already exist and are widespread. Another aspect that is paying much attention to the efficiency of windows in relation to the entry of light and their ability to tune or cool the house. In fact, they are simple changes in their great majority. "It is clear that this contribution is key. It is currently difficult, but the demand for cheaper materials should lower prices and make positive cycle. Another option is prefabricated more to prevent errors. Sometimes in a plant are monitored and standardized things to build on the same site are not achieved as well. There are multiple strategies that may apply. The role of architects in this is also very important, as they know that sustainable architecture does not require going against the architectural styles, much less against the design.

The role of architects in this is also very important, as they know that sustainable architecture does not require going against the architectural styles, much less against the design. - And what form should operate the government?
"Of course the most powerful weapon is to change the laws and regulations to encourage these types of buildings. If the government is working to reduce its own energy consumption, say, 30% or 50%, people start to take these things more seriously. That is one of the messages that occur. To impose energies like solar or wind, you have to press with such policies.
- Is the perspective of people who are going to build a house will also change?
-key thing here are the signs. One of the things that the more I wonder since I got here is why in a country with good potential for wood construction, no more houses of this type. Material is more profitable than cement and concrete. In the U.S., this is something assumed and normal, is the material most commonly constructed. Here, we must find arguments to justify that encourage people to build with these materials. Can be more durable, safe, efficient, are built quickly and in turn, can be aesthetically beautiful. I think that has to do with starting to consider it as an alternative.
- Where do you begin to generate this kind of cultural change?
"First of all, training architects in this type of architectures. Of them also depend on the acceptance to rise. They will also have lower costs. I think one of the most influential may be to create a neighborhood of this type with a housing cooperative, and people see how it works. Montevideo primary objective should be to come to a building "zero energy". I think most changes arising out of necessity. We continue to build in this way, waiting for a climate crisis and react, or start with new ideas to prevent interesting.
-Del
Climate change is often more accountable to the major producers to small consumers. How significant the contribution from the houses built?"I have no fees or relationships here, but in the U.S., 40% of energy consumption has to do with buildings that consume the most inefficient way. 30% is used in transportation, and other industries. It is a very large percentage, and closely linked to the materials used there as gases, and the impact they have. And we're not talking about building buildings again, but to implement a number of key improvements that the operation has a more efficient consumption. Finding new ways to build is one of the alternatives. The other is to adapt the old buildings. This is more urgent than we think, it is said that in ten years things can get complicated even more, and what is needed is a dramatic change in how we think this type of construction.
