EXP 2 36 Custom Textures

Arranged from light (left) to dark (right).

Selected LIGHT texture.
This texture is inspired by a mapped contoured landscape. It also makes me think of the tiny etches in set concrete. I will therefore use it on the concrete shell forming the shape of Eero Saarinen's monument, the Tree. It is a subtle tone, one which matched Eero's light and smooth use of materials in his own projects.

Selected MEDIUM texture.
This is inspired by the perforations often seen in steel sheets. Herzog & de Meuron are quite bold with their material choices often like to experiment with similar materials to these for exterior walls. I will therefore apply this texture to the slanting entrance of the 'space between', since that wall is a prominent feature of my design. Additionally, the wall's angle will cause the perforations to cast interesting shadows.

Selected DARK texture.
This texture appears almost mesh-like. I have deemed steel mesh to be a good material choice for the lattice ceiling of the Herzog & de Meuron monument because it can be easily crafted into a strong, curved surface.
