The Smurfit-Stone building is a perfect example of what is meant by "texture." The X's on the Hancock building is texture. The staggered setback of Sears is texture. Pretty much anything that would end up on an abstract drawing of a skyline is adding texture to the whole.
Texture goes beyond architecture and becomes "place identity"
