Textures Used on the Final Experiment 2 Monument

TEXTURES USED ON THE MONUMENT

Medium texture: This pattern symbolises organic forms, which are in abundance in Antoni Gaudi's Casa Batllo. The use of this texture is fairly subtle in the monument as it is located at the bottom/base of the rectilinear structure. This texture is situated at the base as it is a connecting point with the natural environment, connecting the built and natural environment. Essentially, the base of the rectilinear monument has been 'stamped' by nature. 

Light texture: Like the texture above, this one is simply a lighter symbol of organic forms in architecture. When considering exposure to sunlight for the rectilinear component, the top and all facades of the structure receive a solid amount, resulting in the use of a lighter texture than the one above. 

Dark texture: This texture is utilised minimally within the sandwich-type element of the curvilinear component. The pattern evokes radical approaches and thoughts, which portrays Coop Himmelblau's creations.

Light texture: This one is essentially a lighter version of the texture directly above, but is in more abundance on the monument (along the outer surface of the sandwich element). By considering shadows, this lighter texture is applied more due to the exposure of the outer and inner surfaces to sunlight. 

Light texture: This 'squiggle' hints to the curvaceous methods that Coop Himmelblau employ into a lot of works, especially the Martin Luther Church Hainburg, which inspired this light texture. This pattern is draped over the surfboard-type element in the curvilinear monument. The 'squiggle' resembles a ripple of water, maybe along the ocean, that the surfboard is riding.

Dark texture: This series of 'scales' are located within the interior walls of the rectilinear model due to the consideration of sunlight (where this area receives scarce). The texture hints to the theme of uniformity and symmetry, which is pivotal to many of Antoni Gaudi's architecture. This theme is suitable with respect to its placement in the monument as each of the walls that this texture is applied to has axes of symmetry (and thus, a degree of uniformity).

 Light texture: This is the most dominating texture on the monument as it covers essentially the entire curvilinear structure. This arrangement symbolises intricacy within the boundaries, resulting in dynamic but stable outcomes that Coop Himmelblau strive to achieve.
