MATERIAL THEORY for Facades & Exteriors

🚁In architecture, material choice is more than just aesthetics—it’s about #durability, light interaction, and #emotional impact. The right materials shape a #building’s #function, feel, and #timelessness.

1️⃣Single Material
🖱️Visual unity & clean simplicity.
🖱️Timeless, minimal, and harmonious.
🔥Example: Concrete monoliths, glass towers, or stone-clad structures.

2️⃣ Material Combinations
🖱️Balance or contrast textures & colors.
🖱️Breaks massing & highlights key features.
🔥Example: Wood + metal, brick + steel, or stone + glass.

3️⃣Highlighting Features
🖱️Adds drama & personality.
🖱️Best for decorative details or focal points.
🔥Example: Ornamental metalwork, sculptural elements, or bold accent panels.

💡Pro Tip: A facade tells a story - choose materials that age gracefully and enhance the building’s character.🎮
