The application of materials on buildings are varies. The choice and placement of the materials on buildings are able to distinguish the appearance and image of a building. This project is designed as an exposure for students on building materials that are universally used in building design.

One of the aims of this assignment is to develop an awareness and understanding of the strong inter-relationship between design and technical knowledge. A success of any design project relies on a designer’s ability to address issues of appropriate methods of construction, integration of structure and the selection of materials whilst addressing the many other complex issues that are part of the design process.
