Course Objectives
The materials (architecture) area studies the manufacturing methods, compositions, properties, etc. of the materials used in buildings. It is an area that fosters the ability to select materials appropriately according to the purpose of the building, and how to use materials systematically and economically.
(1) To understand structural performance and the factors necessary to exert the required performance of structural materials (wood, concrete, metal).
(2) In the finishing material field (interior, exterior), to understand the functionality and applied environment to select properly finishing materials.
