The research sheds light on the optimal choice of materials for
external cladding, so it is considered complementary to the
design of the outer casing of architectural facades, because the
language of the material helps to highlight the aesthetic value of
the plastic treatments of design, the merging of material with the
design achieves a desired goal, which is evident through the
design capabilities of the decorated designer. The outer casing of
the architectural facades combined with the selection of the
materials used that serve the form in the first place and then
narrate the history and philosophical content of the design in the
second place, and the raw materials for the external cladding
represent one of the technological elements that witnessed a
remarkable development in the twentieth century and was
associated with architectural beautification where traditional
materials were used and the development of their use and new
ones And it is considered an apparent influence of its importance
on the perceptual vision of design from several important aspects
such as proportions, color, texture and others in the service of the
design idea in accordance with the nature of the tasks of each
institution, in addition to the diversity of the nature of the
materials, some of them are agile materials GRP or interactive
such as smart materials and others are easy to form such as
credit, where it is determined The choice of material is based on
its flexibility, the more flexible, light materials are used, the more
The flexibility of the formation and the increase in the connection
and continuity between the design elements, which gives the
opportunity for the decorated designer to create advanced designs
in rhythm and color and to use all the means available to him to
adapt the materials to add an artistic and aesthetic appearance to
the covers of buildings. What is more is the possibility of using
certain materials to clad the outer covers of buildings and to treat
them as a piece of plastic art, which changes the shape of the
building as if it is reviving it again, based on the purpose of
changing the facade of the building if it is for the purpose of
renewal and repair or to change its identity. In both cases, the
materials are adapted for cladding according to the executed
design to achieve both aesthetic and functional value.
