EB 28- Concrete Textures
Textures are full of intentions and endowed with meaning.
This is the central theme of this issue of En Blanco, which analyzes seven works, by different authors, that stand out for the use of texture in creating their meaning.
Texture is a visual element that sensitizes and materially characterizes the surfaces of objects, but what kind of knowledge can a texture give rise to? And with what method?
Each of the seven works published in this issue of EN BLANCO is developed with drawings, details, and pictures. An identity card of the project and the image of the texture are provided - thus conforming the contextual level of analysis - the intention is to complement it from a global perspective in the set of the seven works.
If the texture of the Clyfford Still Museum is generated, through a rigorous, modulated and controlled technique that responds to the artistic emotions of the program it contains; the work of the Saint-Nazaire Theater in France connects with the emotion of the place, the history, the culture and the people. Both can awaken the emotional meaning of the place, of the landscape, of an artist's work, or of being integrated into preserved spaces.
Other textures are due to the noblest function of the building and the impact and social response that they can arouse; This is the case of the Boca de Veracruz Forum in Mexico, by the architect Michel Rojkind and the Béziers Palace of Justice in France by the group of architects Ateliers 2/3/4. These two image-textures accompany the order and the beat of the music and show the strength of justice.
