 As we can see in the photo, the Teresa Carreño Theater is almost in total made with concrete, but we can also see some textures made with the same material. These textures are clearly used to differentiate the diverse volumes according to its functions. This is the case of the stairs surrounded with the black glass given it a glassy texture, or even the big volume with the rough texture in the façade that gives it the sensation of importance, because of its size and change of texture.

In this picture, took from the garden of the theater, is interesting to see the texture made in the floor, with concrete figures, to mark a way. It is also amazing the contrast between the smooth grass texture and the rough texture of the concrete figures that create a cozy and beautiful space that makes you want to stay there.
