“Everything does not
occur by accident, it
begins from an idea.”

– Earl Nightingale
Architecture
is defined as the art and science of
designing buildings and structures.
Design
a plan or drawing produced to show the
look and function or workings of a
building, garment, or other object
before it is built or made.

Architectural Materials
 Steel
• Structural steel is a popular construction material, often
used alongside concrete to create impressive and long-
lasting buildings. Its versatility, sustainability and
flexibility are some of the main reasons for its use, as
well as being a very cost-effective material.
 Benefits
 Durable
 Design
 Cost-effective

(fire resistant &

easy to maintain)
Architectural Materials
 Plastic
• Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight,
easy to mold, and recyclable.
 Benefits
 Rot resistant
 Corrosion resistant
 Cost-effective
(easy to transport)
Architectural Materials
 Stone
• Stone materials are often used for construction because
they are strong, durable and very resistant to weather
conditions. Stone is extracted from natural deposits
called quarrying.
 Benefits
 Extremely durable
 resilient to wind, fire,
water, rot and bugs
 maintenance free
Architectural Materials
 Bricks
• Bricks are incredibly strong, known as a load bearing
material they are able to fully support a building. Bricks
are strong and long lasting but they are also great agers.
 Benefits
 energy efficient.
 weatherproof , sustainable,
creative and colorful
 low maintenance
Architectural Materials
 Glass
• is used in various methods during construction projects
with an exact form and type. The most familiar glass
forms are fiberglass products that are being used for
insulation and translucent panels, transparent blocks,
and windows.
 Benefits
 Transparency
 Weather and Rust resistant,
Dustproof and Waterproof
 Recyclable
Architectural Materials
 Earth
• has been a common building material during the
Neolithic period, people lived in caves or built their
homes above ground using wattle and daub technique.
More substantial, load-bearing walls can also be made
of pounded earth, a technique that also has a long
history in China.
 Benefits
 Fire resistance
 Affordable
 Low maintenance
Architectural Materials
 Waste Materials
• Waste materials are a major environmental problem,
which is a threat to the environment. Waste can be used
in the construction industry by reusing (reuse
components) and recycling (processing waste into raw
materials used in the production of building materials).
 Benefits
 Cost savings
 Environmental impact
 Sustainable
Building and Landscape
 Space
• encompasses the volume of a structure, the parts of a building
we move through and experience
Building and Landscape
 Scale
• is measuring or ratio based on the relation of architectural
elements with each other and their surroundings along with
being in harmony with human body geometry
Building and Landscape
 Light and Shadow
• lighting can bring an emotional value to architecture and
shadow help break up a vast amount of space. It also gives a
building three dimensional feeling.
