Texture_UrbanPlanning

In a city we can perceive textures that shape our everyday space, texture can be understood as the ability to feel sensations of sight or touch.

 Gordon Cullen, described the urban space as consisting of feelings that must be raised for a good relationship between citizens and space. These textures will lead to different elements that serve as design elements.

 In particular, texture in urban planning must be understood differently to haw it is perceived in architecture, as in our case is an intangible element that generate feelings of citizens, and this could affect the level of confidence with the city. media type="file" key="texture1.wav" In the pictures below, we can see types of texture in a city. In the first one we see an entrance of a building made of very diferents materials, also we can see a very solid edge of the space. In urban planning the edges are "perceived boundaries such as walls, buildings, and shorelines". in the second one we can see a building made of concret, is like the firt one a very solid and smooth edge. in the third one we can see a backlit image which is compose for a path that is smooth to but has a pattern that make it different as the first and the second one. media type="file" key="texture2.wav" align="center"
