Other uses Materiality disambiguation Context date October 2009 Materiality in architecture is the concept of, or applied use of, various materials or substances in the medium of building. Material is a relative term in architectural design and so may be used to designate materials which are considered to be virtual , such as photographs , image s or text or other materials which are natural . Some materials may be considered as combinations of the two. Certain wiktionary veneer veneers which are composed of image s printed on plastic are a good example of this. Observationally therefore, virtual materials can be said not to exist without a natural physical Substrate printing substrate . Therefore, what separates a virtual material from a natural one is some aspect of the mind and perception as well as a process of Representation arts representation to produce them. Indeed, materiality in architecture is not limited to theoretical positions on the perceived materiality of images, texts, or other objects of representation. It may refer to the materiality of specific projects, where one would need to consider the full range of materials used. Discussions on the materiality of architecture are usually synonymous with structural and aesthetic concerns in architectural design and are typically unique with each project.
