Construction materials have traditionally been explained in architecture schools attending to their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. In that sense their teaching has been developed through theoretical lessons in classroom complemented by practical lessons in laboratory in which various materials were tested. But, materials are important not only from the technical point of view for their function as elements for construction, but also for their role as the basis of architectural language, enabling through them the transmission of sensationsvisual, tactile perception, thermal, acoustic, olfactory-, that is, materiality. For this reason, since these sensations are perceived by people through the senses, the materials library is a didactic resource especially useful to enable direct contact of students with the main materials currently available.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
