Building Materials [ARC1513] Project Brief: Project 1a: Material Catalog The intent of this project is to introduce students to Building Materials which are currently used in the industry. This exercise exposes students to identify and understand the different types of building material and its application.
Learning Outcomes: 1. To identify different materials used for construction/ finishes/ furnishings 2. To describe the general usage of materials 3. To use the findings and produce proper documentation 4. Recognize different types of materials and their properties 5. Identify and describe the findings

Project 1b: Mood Board: Experiencing and exploring space through materials
Architecture Design Studio 1 [ARC1116]
Project Brief: Project 1b: Mood Board: Experiencing and exploring space through materials This project introduces students to various types of material that are applied in existing buildings locally in response to local contexts such as climate, concept, aesthetics, structure, occupancy and environmental issues. Emphasis is given to identification and understanding the effects of material, chemical and physical properties.

Building Materials [ARC1513]
Learning Outcomes: 1. Produce a complete documentation and analysis of materials in respect to physical and chemical properties 2. Identification of various types of building material (Finishes and Structural) 3. Understand the effects of building materials on aesthetics and structural qualities of a space or building. 4. Understand the appropriateness of material used in context several factors-occupancy, concept, climate 5. Acquire analytical skill in understanding selection of building materials for a building/design 6. Understanding of application/ installation of material as finish and structural material (simple construction)
