Texture_Architecture



In Venezuela, texture can be seen in the buildings facade,commonly they are of differents materials as glass, concrete, stone, brick, among other. In this way, an example of this use is the Central University of Venezuela or Universidad Central de Venezuela UCV. Also, we can see the use of metal in the facade in order to create a reflecting sensation.

No just the facades have textures, in the UCV there are many sculptures with textures too, may be with visual textures or tactile texture, but both too. For example, the one in the picture has a slick surface that, at the same time, makes it seems smooth and silky.

 

Besides, the use of glass in vitrals and metal makes a glossy texture, and thanks to the reflection of the sky and the sunshine the building appears to be covered by a wet surface.





Finally, the concrete create a texture that is inviting and insinuates the feeling of being in a comfortable, cozy home or shelter, also it allows to create a game of shadows, and feel the wind and the sun.   media type="file" key="texture.wma" align="center" width="300" height="45"
