=**Texture in Venezuelan Architecture **=

Venezuela have many buildings with different textures, two building stand out from the rest: "la casa natal de Simon Bolivar" and "Club Tachira".

**- "La casa natal de Simon Bolivar": ** is located in the center of Caracas city. Is a colonial house, of one floor but very tall. In the facade we can see four different textures: brick, metal, stone and clay.

1) __Brick texture__: is the general texture of the wall.

2) __Metal texture__: we can find it in the barred windows.

3) __Stone texture__: in the post and lintel of the main door.

4) __Clay texture__: in the tile placed on the roof.

All these textures we can identify such rough texture, well treated and polished. **- "Club Tachira": ** is located in Caracas city. Was designed by Fruto Vivas. Is one of the most beautiful buildings in our country, in the facade we can view six different textures:

1) __Wooden texture__: we can find them in the roof, stairs and railings.

2) __Glass texture__: in the large windows.

3) __Metal texture__: in the structure that supports the weight of large windows.

4) __Concrete texture__: in the walls that not are coated by wood.

5) __Polished stone texture__: in the ground floor.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">6) __Ceramic texture__: in the huge cylinder, that we can see in the white-black picture.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">All these textures we can identify such rough texture, but also we can consider the wooden texture like the softer texture of all them.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">"Club Tachira" is a good example of Venezuelan Architecture, it have style and harmony. Even the building is timeless, today we can see it like a current building, despite having been built in 1955.
