Designers builders most commonly use steel
large curtain walls at the main entrance, where
lots of light should come in.
Because of the material's mechanical yield,
significant glazing portions with wide spans
heights of up to 15m can be designed.

Steel's mechanical yield enables the required
glazing portions to be designed with a wide span
and height.
Steel cladding protects the architecture from
adverse weather. Temperature, wind, water
absorption, sunlight, pollution.

Steel is a very ductile material, making it
simple to weld on-site.

Aluminum is used in areas where energy efficiency
is critical. Aluminum is useful because of its
light weight.
This material is also corrosion resistant unless
the environment is highly acidic, in which case
it can corrode at a potentially catastrophic rate.

Aluminum can be brushed and polished to achieve a
pleasing surface and a glossy appearance.
5
For skyscrapers, aluminium is considered light
solution. The use of lightweight aluminium
honeycomb panels keeps the building's dead load
low.
3
Aluminium is a very good heat conductor, so often
constructors use it to dissipate heat.
