🔸 Light & Shadow: Mood, focus & drama.
🔸 Scale: Proportion that feels "just right."
🔸 Color & Tone: Emotion through palette.
🔸 Spatial Flow: How movement shapes meaning.

🏗️ Beyond Beauty: How Materials SHAPE Architecture!

💦We admire stunning facades, but have you ever wondered how materials actually shape the buildings we love? 🤔

📌Material Theory in #architecture is FAR more than just looks:

🔵It's about how #materials behave over time (age, weather, wear).
💡It's about how they respond to #light (glow, reflect, absorb).
⭐️It's about how they #influence our experience of space (texture, temperature, acoustics, emotion).

The right material doesn't just cover a building – it #transforms its function, feel, and #emotional #impact. ✨🎮
