A look at why some materials — concrete and wood, glass and paint, brick and steel — just belong together. Material selection during the design process strongly determines architectural character, defining the overall look and feel of the composition and space. Architects draw upon many devices when developing a material palette. Selections can reference the site or adjacent structures, or can be drawn from local building conventions, the climate and weathering concerns, or the building form itself. Sometimes the selections are a result of a specific client directive or are a creative solution to the project’s budgetary constraints. Other considerations are the quality of light a material might render or its tactile quality and color. Then there are those material and color combinations that just belong together, contrasting and complementing in perfect harmony. In the video I examine a few of those pairings. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Architecture Short Course: How to Develop a Design Concept" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4dVgbuxBAw -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-

1. Personally I don't usually like White on White look, feels to sterile for my liking. For me I much prefer earthier tones and contrasts but complimentary materials.
2. Engineered timber like found in Europe can now meet and exceed steels strength over long distances.
3. My fav materials are Steel, Stone, Concrete, Wood and Glass. For me when combined well have a feeling of being very comforting, natural solidity about them.
4. I do like the effect of the wood bracing on the concrete but I'm not keen on the holes in the wall left by that very same bracing. I do love rammed earth walls though they are very costly to have done.
5. So helpful and well explained!! Thank you!
6. I like your video thanks 😃✌️
