Design standards of the architectural surfaces using new cladding material

Abstract

The research highlights the Design Standards of the architectural Surfaces using New Cladding materials. The research aims to achieve the functional benefit besides achieving the aesthetic aspect through the deep study of raw materials and smart materials, the knowledge of the technology of each application, and how they interact with the environment. And to achieve the concept of sustainability through the optimal employment of these materials, and also the innovative criteria for the design of architectural surfaces and aesthetic values and technology for the use of raw materials in the design of architectural surfaces, The research assumes that enhancing the architectural understanding of the designer through his deep and complete understanding of all modern techniques and materials enables him to develop basic design criteria to achieve the best interaction of architectural surfaces and environmental space around them and achieve the concept of sustainability. There is many evidences of the impact of the design process in general and the thought of the design of architectural surfaces, especially that this impact was directly motivated by the designer to go to this technology to know its benefits, Or indirectly as a response to the impact of modern technologies on the development of life, society, interior design, and architecture in general, such as Thermobimetals, Alucobond, Coagulated Glass and Aeragel Glazing, etc. The research finds that the importance of the interaction between technology and design leads to the creativity in architecture, where the smart materials add aesthetic value of the building and give a distinctive texture of the outer shell, finally the research recommendation is designers should be continuously updated with all brand-new in design, materials, techniques and modern technology.
