Beam
Component Type: Permanent

Building System: Structural

Base Material: Concrete

Function / Purpose: It supports the weight of a building's floors,

ceilings and roofs and moves the load to the framework of a
vertical load-bearing element

Column

Component Type: Permanent

Building System: Structural

Base Material: Concrete

Function / Purpose: Vertical structures that support compressive

loads
Roof
Component Type: Permanent Material

Building System: Enclosure

Base Material: Galvanized corrugated Metal Sheet

(probably roof insulation underneath)

Function Purpose: Closing and protecting the entire

system and structure from different conditions and
providing a heat balance underneath

Gutters
Component Type: Permanent Material

Building System: Mechanical

Base Material: Plastic

Function Purpose: Disposing the water from the

structure
Glass Block
Component Type: Permanent Material

Building System: Enclosure

Base Material: Glass

combination of beam, column and slab to resist the
lateral and

Wall

Component Type: Permanent

Building System: Enclosure

Base Material: Stone cladded concrete

Function / Purpose: structural element used to divide

or enclose, and, in building construction, to form the
periphery of a room or a building.
Water Supply Pipe

Function Purpose: Enabling light use with circulation under

the ceiling, providing the space for cables and other
necessary elements for lightning

Thin Wooden Beams

Component Type: Permanent Material

Building System: Enclosure

Base Material: Wood

Function Purpose: Not in a structural use but it is in order

to provide space division
Duct
Component Type: Temporary Material

covering shelter or working flat surface in buildings. It
designed to support and transfer the loads.
Steel Frame System
Component Type: Temporary Material

Building System: Structural

Base Material: Steel

Function Purpose: Structural load bearing

system to carry the other elements within the
building

Window
Component Type: Permanent

Building System: Enclosure system

Base Material: Glass

Function / Purpose: Control passage of light,

heat, sound and moisture
Railing
Component Type: Temporary Material

Building System: Enclosure

Base Material: Metal

from specific points, it is generally used repetitively in a
continuous facade or on a beam.
HVAC Fixture
Component Type: Temporary Material

Building System: Mechanical & Electrical

Base Material: Galvanized Steel

Function/Purpose: Heat, cool & ventilate the

structure through conduction
Tensile Foldable Membrane
Component Type: Temporary Material

Building System: Enclosure & Mechanical

Base Material: Tensile Membrane supported with steel columns

Function Purpose: Providing sun and wind and rain protection in

different conditions while creating a semi-open space, as it is
operable it also enables open space when needed
