Mediums of Architecture
· Wood-Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance, relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However, it is easily destroyed by moisture, insects, and fire.
· Stone- is the material used in most of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desired.
· Concrete is a building material made of sand and gravel mixed with ceme3nt. Like stone, it has high compressive strength. It doesn't easily crumble or break down when subjected to heavy weight. It does not corrode and is fire resistant. For stronger structure, Ferro-concrete or reinforced concrete is used. It is concrete reinforced with steel.
· Steel- it is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures without worrying about the problem of space and the weight of the other materials. It has also made possible the building of the high-rise structures which are very popular these days.9
