Material Tutorial
Last Friday , Miss Rokshid had taught us about the importance of Material. What is material ? Material is a substance or combination of substances that makes up an item is called a material. Materials can be made of living or non-living things, pure or impure. Materials can be categorized according to their biological purpose, geological origin, or physical and chemical characteristics. The study of materials, their characteristics, and their uses is known as materials science.
A variety of processing techniques,
including as purification, shape, or the addition of other materials, can be
used to modify the qualities of raw materials. By synthesis, new materials may
be created from raw elements.
Materials
are used as inputs in manufacturing processes in the industrial sector to
create products or more sophisticated materials.
In
addition, Roksid also taught us about the Regenerative (bio-based) material .
The Regenerative material includes bio-based material as bamboo, straw and
hemp-based technologies , as well as wood or earth-based solution. Biomaterial
which is the material derived from living organism such as plant, animals and
fungi.
Moreover,
We also learned about Hemp. Hemp is a type of cannabis plant that is grown for
medical and industrial use. Hemp grows extremely quickly and “more effective
than trees” at sequestering carbon. Hemp has a strong , stiff fiber can be
processed into a variety of commercial goods including paper, textile
,bio-plastic , food and bio fuel as well as industrial and construction
product. Mexico city design studio ATRA has used hemp-based fabric to upholster
a sofa , while architecturally the hemp is most often processed into hempcrete.
This is formed from the woody inner part of the plant's stem which is mixed
with lime, water and sand to create a material that offers excellent thermal
and acoustic insulation while acting as carbon sink.(Diagram 01)
Hempcrete
is a concrete like material created from the woody inner fibers of the hemp
plants . The hemp fibers are bound with lime to create concrete- like shapes
that are strong and light. Hempcrete blocks are super -light weight , which can
also can dramatically reduce the energy used to transport the blocks , and hemp
itself is a fast – growing , and renewable resources.(Diagram 02)
Last,
Bamboo has actually been a locally – sourced building material in some region
of the world millennia. The component that makes bamboo such a promising
building material for modern building is its combination of tensile strength,
light weight and fast growing renewable nature. Bamboo are usually used framing
buildings and shelters, bamboo can replace expensive and heavy imported
materials and provide an alternative to concrete and rebar construction ,
rebuilding and low-income areas with access to nature locally-sourced bamboo.
The bamboo partition are original, sustainable and practical, functional
alternative.(Diagram 03)
I felt this
session is memorable as I had learned lots of thing through this session.
