Texture



**Texture**

Texture is a property of objects that can be perceived through the sense of touch. In addition, this property can be used as an advantage when we design, especially in art, architecture and graphic expression in general.

// "Everything, including works of art, has a texture or surface. Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the list is endless. In this section you'll examine the actual texture of works of art, and discover how artists create the illusion of texture with paint, wood, stone and clay. You'll also see how differences in texture can be used to create the illusion of space" // ** Texture can be visual, and tactile, in this sense is not the same feeling that can produce objects with the naked eye or through contact with our hands. **

In Urban Planning, texture can be seen from a visual standpoint, that is, that way it is shaping urban space and how the urban tissue set up. The heights and sizes generate something called grain, which is oriented to the type of the building and the block. in the picture we can see how the altitudes create misunderstandings spaces and shaping the visual texture of the city.
