262 270 Main St Final Presentation

PROPOSED DESIGN APPROACH Design Considerations Materials and Textures The building surfaces along Main Street are largely composed of textures and patterns. The play of light and shadow on these textures and the color created by architectural patterns create great surface interest on building facades. Texture is the visual and tactile degree of roughness and smoothness of surfaces. From glass to stonework all materials have a texture that can be used to blend or contrast and enhance a building design. Pattern is a regular repetition of a design, shape, form or void. Pattern creates a visual texture at a certain scale. Bricks form a pattern of repeated rectangles separated by regular widths of mortar. At a distance this pattern creates a visual texture. Pattern should be used as carefully as texture to enhance a design and give interest to surfaces as needed. § 25-16.7. Design Criteria. [Ord.
