| Course Objectives: |
The Building Materials course is designed to create awareness about materials in architecture and how these materials can be applied/implemented in professional life. In this course, students are taught the properties of different types of materials, the composition of these materials, material board preparation, communication with drawings, material applications, and other necessary professional infrastructure. The aim of this course is to teach students their professional responsibilities during design or application roles such as decision-making based on materials or leadership in the management of any spatial organization according to the materials. |
| Course Content: |
In the context of the importance of the building-material-design relationship in architecture, the content of the course is handled with three basic approaches: (i) introducing the mechanical, physical and technological properties required to recognize a building material, (ii) emphasizing the basic differences between the materials classified on the basis of material science and their place in each group. Introduction of materials (Ceramics: stone, binders, concrete, glass and terracotta; Polymers: wood and plastic; Metals: ferrous and non-ferrous), (iii) introduction of functional materials (fire, acoustic, heat and water insulation) used in the building depending on the basic performance criteria required by the building elements.
