Texture+Architecture

There are various examples of how texture is used in architecture throughout Caracas. Some of them include the Poliedro, the ranchos, and parts of the Universidad Central de Venezuela. We can see how texture can breathe life into buidlings as well as create a unique experience for occupant's senses. Expressing the true quality of materials, shaping an interior space or simply to articulate a pattern.

In the UCV we can clearly see that texture is used in some walls to mark a path and a different space.



Then we have the ranchos throughout caracas that stand out because of their materialmedia type="file" key="texture.wav" align="right". With their texture they create a visual limit between two parts of the city, and also a feeling of a blanket that is choking other buildings in the Caracas.
