Acquire fundamental knowledge to understand the performance required for each part and component in building finishing materials,
enabling appropriate material selection and maintenance.
The materials used in buildings are diverse, and to create excellent architecture and enriching spaces, it is essential to
deepen one's understanding of the various properties of these materials. Particularly for finishing materials, the required
performance varies depending on the location and purpose of use. In addition to performance tailored to functions such as
design aesthetics, thermal properties, and acoustic characteristics, factors like ease of replacement and recyclability may
also be required.
This lecture covers the classification, characteristics, properties, application methods, and maintenance techniques of finishing materials. Students will learn to select appropriate materials and acquire the systematic knowledge and practical methods necessary for their long-term use.
