Texture and Space

Texture
Actual
These four images are examples of actual texture.  The top left picture is of a pineapple and they have a very sharp texture.  The top right picture is of blades of grass.  The bottom left picture is of bricks on a sidewalk ramp. The bumps are the texture to prevent people from slipping.  The bottom right picture is of an electric stove coil.  The coil itself has texture and the red parts show the texture of heat. 

Implied
The top right and bottom left pictures are of laminate flooring.  One imitates wood and the other a tile/stone but neither have any texture.  The top right corner is of a stainless steal light base.  It looks like it has a brushed texture but it is actually polished smooth.  The bottom left picture is of a granite and looks rough but is also polished smooth. 

Space
Actual
These two rooms are actual spaces because they are designed for one specific use.   The rooms would not functional in other capacities.   The left is a laundry room and it is obvious on the washer and dryer in the room.  The left is a lecture hall in the SLC and is an actual space because the chairs are in permeant places and direction.  

Implied
These four photos are implied spaces.  The top left is of cars in Tate set up for students to study.  The room is an open space and could be arranged in many ways and this arrangement implies it is a study space.  The top right is a covered hallway in an orphanage in Oaxaca, Mexico.  It is an implied space because it has an open side could be used in many different ways.  The bottom left is a cross walk and is an implied space because it suggests where people should walk but does not say you can not walk in the street.  The bottom right picture is of a parking space in a parking garage on campus.  I think this is an implied space because social rules say that the car should be parked inside the lines but people all the time take up two spots because they park over the line.  This shows it implies you should park between but is not an actual wall that prevents people from parking over the line.
