Metal Building

Nestle Building, Mexico

After images of vernacular buildings using locally available materials as building materials, here's a nice contrast of a very modern building using modern materials - metal cladding; which also in this case the roofs and walls are of the same material. A dramatic and beautiful expression of the geometrical building forms yielding a striking piece of architecture.

Materials That Float

Not all habitats are on terra firma - some are on the waters! Like these floating houses at Halong Bay, Vietnam; and some of the best building materials that float are natural materials that are locally available in the geographic location such as bamboos and timber.

Definition of Building Material

The hut of a Toda Tribe of Nilgiris, India.

Medical terminology aside, the building construction materials have their own terminology.

Building material is any material which is used for a construction purpose. Just about every type of available material has been used at one time or another for creating various human and animal homes, structures, and technologies. We're talking here about habitats and structures including homes.

Over the course of civilization, living spaces and their related structures have been created using a myriad materials, from mud to metal, and from plastic to grass. Today the production and assembly of various building materials is a multi-billion if not trillion dollar industry, and environmental concern has recently surfaced about the effects of such a massive resource extraction on a global scale.

Here's a list of some of building material :-

Building Material

We all live in buildings which are constructed from all kinds of building material. Whether it's a humble shelter or a grand monumental structures; building material provides a basis for the realization.

Here I would like to share and explore the various building material on this journey of discovery. I trust you'll enjoy this journey with me.
