Project 1: Materiality of SPACE: Encountering Space & Materiality
This assignment is designed to introduce building materials that are commonly used in the local construction industry. The spaces or building selected to study will allow one to understand the reasoning behind choices made by certain designer in terms of concept, functional use, environmental response, environmental profile, structural requirement, availability of resources and etc when selecting or proposing a building material.

Learning Outcome
Through this project, I have learned to identify and observe various types of building material used by a building, for example BOH Tea Visitor Centre in Cameron Highland. I have also learned to document and analyse materials in respect to physical and chemical properties. Then, I have understood about the effects of building materials on aesthetics and structural qualities of a space or building.
Besides, I have understood the appropriateness of material used in context several factors occupancy, concept and climate. I have learned the important of application/ installation of material as finish and structural material (simple construction). It is a great experience gained throughout this project.
