Materials • Strength—strength property, strong or weak: for example, steel is stronger material, and it is strong in both compression and tension. • Stiffness—stiff, flexible, stretchy or floppy: for example, carpets and robbers are not stiff but flexible materials, and concrete is stiff material. • Shape—mono-dimensional (linear), bi-dimensional (planar) or tridimensional (volumetric): planar shape—sheet mental, volumetric shape—brick and concrete • Material behavior—isotropic or anisotropic: isotropic materials display similar characteristics no matter which direction the force is applied • Economy&Sustainability—include the price of the material, availability, impact on the environment, transport of the material and its efficiency. Basic structural forces Force: is any influence that produces a change in the shape or movement of a body. Tension forces: external load pulls on a structural member Compression forces: produces the opposite effect of a tension force

Key idea of the subject: how the design idea gets translated into the build form.
Materials • Strength—strength property, strong or weak: for example, steel is
stronger material, and it is strong in both compression and tension.
• Stiffness—stiff, flexible, stretchy or floppy: for example, carpets and
robbers are not stiff but flexible materials, and concrete is stiff material.
• Shape—mono-dimensional (linear), bi-dimensional (planar) or
