@dailymailau: The structures were built with what appears to be Styrofoam! Venezuela was rocked by a devastating 7.2 and 7.5 double-earthquake on Wednesday. The official death toll has risen to 1,430 despite foreign and domestic rescue teams pouring into coastal La Guaira, near the capital Caracas, the hardest-hit state. Top lawmaker Jorge Rodríguez has called it 'the most disastrous event' the country has suffered in the last 123 years, with whole swathes of towns and cities across the country reduced to rubble. The government has said more than 3,000 people were injured and a similar number were living in shelters, but just under 50,000 people were listed as unaccounted for on a website promoted by the country's political opposition on Sunday. #fyp #australia #venezuela #earthquake #tragic

Fun with Fins :
they use Styrofoam blocks in roof concrete pours in central and south America to keep the weight low, but there is plenty of steel running through the roof structure to keep it safe,

Maybe you should get an architect to tell you this is a nothingburger. As a designer for many Vegas hotels, you will find when it isn't a window, the walls are similar to Styrofoam.

We use polystyrene in NZ. It’s just for insulation. The concrete has steel running through it

That's for exterior cosmetics. They'll usually stucco over the styrofoam. The buildings are built with concrete and steel.

Does this go against like building codes? Because why would anybody build a house out of Styrofoam?

Caleb Lancaster :
they’re called styrofoam pods used in foundation concrete pours for insulation. there are deep concrete footings in between each styrofoam pods essentially anchoring it to the ground a lot of steel reinforcing is added and a strong concrete mix is used
