Material Connexion 3 Materials (Materiality and Assembly)

Polymer

•This is a high reflective panel that contains cuts within itself.

•The sheet inside this polymer is placed for reflections and the film

that is attached to the back side is there for color.

•The back film can be replaced with different colors to create a

different value of reflectivity. It can be used as a divider wall.

•There are also examples of this material as art pieces. Images can be

printed on this material to create an art piece that has a reflective and

transparent quality.

Example:

Korean Reflection Wall (Walk of The Town)

Washington DC

Glass

•It is called “transparent laminated glass”.

•This a material that is 60% glass, 30% aluminum scrap shaving and

10% laminated film.

•Aluminium is draped between laminated glass.

•The amount of aluminum can be changed due to the request of the

costumer. {Less aluminum = more transparency}

•Can be used as walls, ceilings, flooring

•It can be used on this staircase between the glass steps

Cement

•It is called: “glass fiber reinforced concrete panel”

•Made from: (high tensile) glass fiber, (high compressive

strength)cement, polymer and a large quantity of sand

•The reason why this specific type cement and glass fiber was used is

because to create design flexibility.

Example:

Broad Museum
