Rationale:

Diploma holders in Architectural Assistantship are supposed to prepare working drawings of buildings. Knowledge of building materials and their behavior under varied climatic conditions is very essential from the point of construction for providing detailed specifications in the working drawings. Therefore, the course in building materials includes imparting basic knowledge in the properties and use of the basic materials like: stones, bricks, lime, cement, paints, timber, exterior and interior finish, glass, plastics, building hardware, roofing materials etc. Teachers are expected to demonstrate the samples of different materials, discuss their properties with particular REFERENCES to their use and appearance in particular situations depending upon climate and environmental conditions of the site, where the materials are to be used. Students should be encouraged to collect samples of various materials and efforts should be made to maintain a good building material museum.

Note

The students are also expected to go through Architecture Journals like Inside -Outside, Interiors Today, Design and Interiors, Architect and builder, Builders Friend etc. They should make scrapbook of relevant brochures.

Objectives:

• To introduce the students to the world of building materials both traditional and modern so that they could make a proper choice for the various needs
