TEXTURE

The use of texture by Oscar Niemeyer is quite sutil, we can see it for example in this picture of the Iberapuera auditorium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He uses texture to difference the planes of the space, for instance here we have a soft texture for the sealing plane, then another one for the background wall, witch is made of soft wood, and the chairs and floor have a really soft textile material to make it confortable and nice for the people to sit and enjoy the show.

At Niemeyer Centre the first plane that we see is made completly out of glass and it's amazing how it reflects the sun and the clouds it gives it a really sutil texture. Underneath is made out of reinforced concrete and it reflects the lake that's under the construction giving it a really nice soft texture even though is concrete. The column that supports all the construction it's decorated with yellow tiles and it's used to diference it from the rest of the building.
