Different Mediums of Architecture
Architectures has to do with the planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the creative manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimating and construction administration. As documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, architecture defines the structure and/or behavior of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.
Wood
Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance, relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However, it is easily destroyed by moisture, insects, and fire.
Steel
It is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures without worrying about the problem of space and the weight of the other materials. It has also made possible the building of the high-rise structures which are very popular these days. Stone Is the material used in most of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desire. And defined as "any material manufactured with aggregate and cementitious binder, intended to resemble in appearance, and which may be used in a similar way to, natural stone".
Concrete
Is a building material made of sand and gravel mixed with cement. Like stone, it has high compressive strength. It doesn't easily crumble or break down when subjected to heavy weight. It does not corrode and is fire resistant. For stronger
