Study Notes
Types of Construction
- Construction types depend heavily on available materials and local climate, influencing design and methods.
- Regional adaptations lead to unique architectural styles.
Bearing Walls Materials
- Common materials for bearing walls include:
- Brick
- Stone
- Concrete
- Wood
Ancient Structures
- Ancient buildings, such as the pyramids or temples, are often made from stone sourced directly from nearby mountains.
Structural Systems
- Post-and-beam construction features two vertical members, or posts, supporting a horizontal beam laid across their tops, providing stability and strength.
Material Characteristics
- Once molded, concrete becomes exceptionally sturdy and strong, although it lacks the malleability of metals like steel.
Architectural Terms Matching
- Ensure definitions and terms are matched correctly for clarity in architectural studies.
Vernacular Architecture Materials
- Identify various countries by their primary materials, which often reflect regional resources and local building practices.
Architectural Elements Matching
- Familiarize with basic architectural elements and their descriptions to enhance understanding of structures.
Material Usage in Construction
- Understand the specific materials used for various construction purposes to inform building practices and material selection.
