Its aim is to meticulously present the processes involved in various activities and specialization areas within the architectural discipline by following them step-by-step, addressing the fundamental issues encountered in these processes, the factors influencing them, and the main approaches and principles developed for solutions, with easy-to-understand explanations and insightful suggestions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe fourth book in the \"Step by Step\" series is titled Building Materials. Similar to the previous (third) book in the series, \"Structural Systems,\" which aimed to build a bridge between the disciplines of architecture and civil engineering, this book focuses on building materials that appear in almost every stage of the architectural design process and are used to bring design ideas to life. Based on the understanding that building materials not only form the foundation of construction activity but also facilitate communication between people and buildings, the book emphasizes aspects of materials that directly concern both their design and the appearance of the structure to be built. The wide range of possibilities that different types of materials can offer to design when used consciously forms the focus of the book. It is stressed that each material only gains meaning within its specific context, and therefore, materials are open to interpretation and re-contextualization. To explore the physical and sensory world of materials, the fundamental properties of building materials are first defined, then major material types are examined under separate headings, addressing their distinguishing characteristics. In the final section of the book, typical design approaches and principles related to material usage are explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBert Bielefeld, who prepared the book for publication, offers his insights on the book as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“The ‘Step by Step Building Materials’ book aims to address the fundamental properties of major building elements and components. For this reason, instead of thoroughly examining materials, the authors focus on aspects of materials that directly concern both their design and the appearance of the structure to be built. The wide range of possibilities that different types of materials can offer to design when used consciously is the focus of the book. To enable readers to explore the physical and sensory world of materials, the fundamental properties of building materials are first defined, then major material types are examined under separate headings, emphasizing their distinguishing characteristics. In the final section of the book, typical design approaches and principles related to material usage are explained. Thanks to the ‘Step by Step Building Materials’ book, students will gain practical knowledge regarding the use of different types of materials, thus enabling them to realize their designs in an impressive manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe authors of the book, Hegger, Drexler, and Zeumer, state:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“... The processes of selecting, developing, and detailing materials play an important role in the design process. Integrating design and material to achieve a coherent structure is the ultimate goal. A material is primarily defined by its properties perceived by the sense of sight (color, surface texture, reflective properties, joints, etc.). These properties are integrated with properties perceived by other senses (feel to the touch, smell, sound, surface temperature, etc.). The structural properties of materials (physical structure, load-bearing capacity, durability, etc.) and their environmental effects are often not perceptible to the naked eye. However, these 'intrinsic values', which can only be determined by measurement, define the technical applicability and suitability of the material for its intended purpose. Ultimately, each material gains meaning within its context. Although this meaning may be based on common values, it lacks objective foundations. Therefore, materials are open to interpretation and re-contextualization...”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eForeword_7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroduction _8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrinciples Followed in the Selection of Building Materials _11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterial Perception _12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRequirements Materials Must Meet _17\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTechnical Specifications _24\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClassification of Building Materials _27\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterial Typologies _27\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWood _33\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWood-Based Products _36\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNatural Stone _39\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConcrete _42\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMineral-Bound Wall Blocks _45\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMineral-Bound Slabs _48\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlasters and Screeds _51\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCeramics and Bricks _54\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMetals _57\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGlass _62\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlastics _66\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTextiles and Membranes _69\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigning with Building Materials _73\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGeneral Conditions _73\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBasing Design on Material _75\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterializing Design with Material _76\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesign Approaches _78\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConclusion _85\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAppendix _86\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e STEP BY STEP SERIES BOOKS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStep by Step Design Ideas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Step by Step Design Methods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStep by Step Structural Systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStep by Step Building Materials\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YEM Yayın","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48370205655283,"sku":"9786257008198","price":350.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/Yapi_Malzemeleri.jpg?v=1686646328","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/adim-adim-yapi-malzemeleri","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
