I am in a small village in Panama and it’s the same here also. Many structures (and tools for that matter) are erected based upon what materials are free or inexpensive. People only make $10 per day….and because of the tropical environment the house is merely a protective shield against rain, wind and pests. This is simple living, this is dwelling. There are building codes and processes here, but few follow them…. I totally agree with Nick’s comment. I am in a small village in Panama and it’s the same here also.

All those boats touring through the canals seemed to be one of the few downfalls of the community. And yes I'm guilty. Mike – the man with the answers! 50 thousand people is a lot of boats.

According to the Municipality of Tigre, which was in charge of building the the glass structure around it in order to protect it from the inclemencies of the weather and the passing of time, approximately 50 thousand people reach this place every weekend attracted by the crystal box shining in the horizon. via:http://www.welcomeargentina.com/tigre/sarmiento-museum.html Nowadays, the house works as a museum and library.

The seemingly modest cottage with the museum glass cage is remarkable in form and function. These are truly the kinds of people who don't throw stones.
