Texture



**// Texture // // is a specific quality of some surface resulting from its three dimensional structure and it's used to describe the smoothness or roughness of the surface. //**

** Types of texture: **

There are two basic types of texture:

 ü Tactile: the one we feel when we touch the surface of an object.

 ü the texture that we feel when we see the surface of an object.

** What is it that texture describes of an object? **

An object texture can be described by its scale, the view that we have of the object, the distance from it and the light of an image.

** How can texture influence the characteristics of a space? **

Texture basically fills the space. Through texture you can feel the space closer, farther, more or less depth.

** What is the importance of texture in architecture? **

In architecture, texture is important to give depth to the plains and make them understandable. Texture is also important when we have to choose the construction materials for a building because different textures can give beauty to any structure.
