Description
Course Description: Studying Architectural Materials in Design and Construction

This course offers an in-depth look at a variety of materials commonly used in architecture and interior design. Students will explore the unique properties, applications, aesthetics, and key roles of materials that shape the built environment across different historical periods and architectural styles. The course will cover a wide range of materials, including energy sources and synthetic alternatives, their evolution in energy supply, and their significance in the modern world.

Special attention will be given to the use of materials that influence atmosphere in various structures, as well as the overall experience both inside and outside. Students will develop a deep understanding that the right choice of materials is based not only on a building’s form, but also on its visual appeal, emotional impact, and environmental implications. Examples include:Concrete in Architecture and Design,The Role of Metals in Contemporary Design,Textiles: Adding Color and Comfort,Plaster and its Decorative Functions,Natural Stone: Timeless Glow and Ornamentation. Modern materials, their properties, and potential for substitution will also be explored.

Throughout the course, students will not only study the technical aspects of materials but also gain insight into their emotional and aesthetic influence on the environment. By learning how to choose the best materials for various design purposes, students will be prepared to create spaces that are not only functional but also inspiring and harmonious.
