The Uro residence presented one of the most interesting terrains,
for whichit was recommended to construct gabionwalls.
Its flexible and permeable structure made of metal mesh, filled with stones,
allowed us to control erosion by stabilizing the soil to prevent landslides.
Additionally, it controlled water flow and prevented flooding.
Its durability is resistant to corrosion and environmental impacts.
Its design requires care, taking in to account factors such as soil type, water
level, and environmental conditions to ensure its long-term effectiveness.
Additionally, it requires periodic maintenance for functionality.
This element has become our favorite in landscape design due to its
effectiveness and flexibility.
Playing with textures and colors can create a unique visual and tactile experience. Textures add depth and a tactile dimension, while colors can convey emotions and moods.
Colors have the abilities to influence our emotions. For instance, warm tones like
red and orange can convey energy and passion, while cool tones like blue and
green can evoke calmness and serenity. By combining different colors, different
emotional atmospheres can be created.
Textures add a tactile dimension to the artwork, even if they cannot be physically
touched. They can be soft, rough, gritty, or smooth. Combining different textures
can create interesting contrasts and add depth to the piece.
The choice of certain textures and colors can communicate a message or tell a
story. For example, a combination of muted colors and rough textures might convey
melancholy or desolation, while vibrant colors and soft textures could express joy
and vitality.
The beauty lies in the freedom to experiment. The combination of textures and
colors is fertile ground for creativity, allowing artists to explore and discover new
forms of expression.
