The role of materiality in architectural representation is to communicate the physical and sensory qualities of a building or space in a meaningful way. Materials play a crucial role in defining the character and texture of a structure, as well as its relationship to its surroundings and context. Architectural representation techniques such as drawings, models, renders or video walkthroughs, must therefore carefully consider and convey the materiality of a project, from the scale and texture of the building’s cladding and roofing, to the choice of flooring, lighting fixtures and furniture. Ultimately, materiality helps to define the identity of a building and its function, while allowing architects to guide the users’ experience and emotional response.
