| Course Description |
| In the context of the importance of building-material-design relationship in architecture, the content of the course is covered with
three basic approaches: (i) introduction of mechanical, physical and technological properties necessary for the identification of a
building material; (ii) introduction of building materials in each group by emphasizing the main differences between the materials
classified on the basis of material science (Ceramics: stone, binders, concrete, glass, fired-clay; Polymers: wood and plastics;
Metals: ferrous and non-ferrous); (iii) introduction of the functional materials (fire, acoustical, thermal insulation and water
proofing) used in the building element depending on the basic performance criteria required. |
