Material selection when building houses is a very important factor in both the design and construction process. On the market today, materials are very diverse and informative, so choosing both easy and difficult … Choosing the right, suitable material will make the building more beautiful, more durable and vice versa, can worsen if the choice is wrong, not suitable.
Outdoor paving materials, necessarily anti-slip. In the design process, homeowners rarely pay attention to this issue, but only care about the functional needs, the form of the house. But to the construction stage – especially in the finishing stage; in connection with the procurement and use of materials; even though it is possible that a very clear and specific designation is given in the engineering design drawing; The owner still likes … to go to the material market to actually see, to choose materials for his house. The “conflict” between the designer and the owner about the choice and use of the material still occurs often. Architects have expertise and overview, choose the right materials; But sometimes the architect is too fond of his style, does not care to grasp the needs and psychology of the host. And the homeowner chooses materials according to the feelings, without the overall look. Many types of display materials are beautiful, but put into the work is not beautiful, or in particular a particular area is not suitable. In many cases, the materials are chosen by architects to beautify the house, but the owner is … warm and unsatisfied; and conversely, homeowners (arbitrarily) choose materials rarely in the opinion of architects. This is a professional job, but the new owner is the direct user of the project, related to those materials and the person… to spend money. Therefore, to have a common voice; then the architect must grasp, learn the needs, living habits and home psychology (with members); but the owner needs to listen to the advice of a specialist, avoid the type of “shopping” for the material, see something good, beautiful (at that time) and then pick up. The concept of beauty and the needs and aesthetic level of each person is different. Therefore, in order to choose the right materials and come to a common voice, in general, the experience of some architects is that – apart from the financial factor, it is necessary to adhere to some specialized principles. subject and each side also need to have an attitude of respect, “yield” to each other. Chandeliers are an important element in classical European architectural style. Suitable for use Materials used in architectural works, first of all, must be suitable for function; This is the most important principle. Each space, each function room, each type of structure and part of architecture has different positions and roles, it is necessary to have materials with suitable mechanical – physical – chemical properties. Floor tiles where water is available (courtyards, toilets) require slip resistance first, and then other issues such as patterns, colors …; garden and exterior materials must be resistant to natural conditions (rain, sun); materials and equipment in the bathroom must be water-resistant, high-moisture-resistant, and electrical safe; the cooking material must be heat resistant … Suitable for use space g Each space, each room in the house has its own specific function, for human activities living, living or working in it. In order to provide the correct functional effect, the materials need to be suitable as well. For example, the living room next to the garden on the ground floor needs airy, comfortable, close to nature, can use natural materials; Upstairs the common room provides closeness; the bedroom should be quiet and warm; music and entertainment rooms need an impression … In addition to the design in the functional space, the interior layout; Then the use of materials, equipment, materials in these spaces also contributes to creating the desired space. Suitable architectural style – interior Each house has an architectural style and interior, according to the will, needs of the owner with the advice of the architect; and designed in that direction by the architect. In order to create style, the role of the material and how it is used is very important. Each architectural – interior style requires the respective materials and the correct way of using them. Modern style has many new materials such as glass, steel, stainless steel …; Eastern classical style has a deep sound of brown wood with sophisticated details; The rustic folk style has the presence of natural materials such as bamboo, wood, stone … Natural stones, ceramic tiles, wood and trees create a rustic, close garden feel. Matching ratio Ratio is an important factor in architecture. Some spaces requiring use of materials are involved in this, especially tiled surfaces. The area of a floor, the height of the walls, and the space of the room need the right proportions. The bathroom is usually small, so choose the moderate size ceramic tiles; should not be too big, if you calculate the parity the better. If using a large brick size, in addition to inconsistent proportions and visuals, it also causes wasteful damage due to much cutting. Some types of architectural parts are now pre-engineered with many sizes, for example, doors need to be based on the area, the height of the room, the space of the wall to choose the right size. Correlation in harmony with the surroundings A building is using many types of materials, in many spaces and spaces that are related to each other. In order to have a harmonious whole, this also needs to be noted. That relationship can be in itself in each function room, within the project; Or out in the garden, on the alley – the street. It is necessary to consider the relationship and surrounding landscape for material selection. For example, at present, there are many townhouses and apartments designed with living room space – living together with the kitchen – dining. The living room floor – common living room or parquet; and the tiled kitchen. These two materials have different origins, different properties coexist on the same ground; and so it is necessary to choose the appropriate species, which can “go together”. In general, the selection and use of materials are very important for architectural works. In a way, there is no such thing as a ugly or beautiful material. Bad or beautiful is whether it exists properly, in the right place in the project or not. Choosing the right materials, beautifying, correcting the space, the overall project. This requires both creativity, sophistication and designer’s experience; the harmony, the predestined relationship in the architect and the host’s relationship./.
