I like the gypsum board.

my architecture student flatmate says:

cor-ten steel (though basalt is catching up)

Ductal!

j/k - Steel and in situ concrete.

to look at: vertical grain doug fir
to work with: hot roll mild steel

mild steel rebar particularly in the context of shop drawings for pt cip. i just can't get over how those little bars around the columns somehow magically keep the column from punching through the slabs. wow - i'm glad i got that out...

no, i'm serious.

i just love the word slab

bondo. a nice thick slab of bondo.(that was for you strawbeary.)

peanut butter

baltic birch ply wood.

love the unbanded edge look of a nice tight multi-ply and it can be used for so many purposes.

particle board.

C O N C R E T E

I like when I get to talk about super-plasticizers and slump.

Feta cheese

felt

i'm surprised no one has said fin ply, which everybody at UM seems to be obsessed over for some reason

by the way,

it's FAVOURITE

We are speaking English right?

grrrrr

and yes I know.

so don't say it.

wood, macore to be specific

since someone beat me to 'cheese'...

i suppose my favOrite material is wood of any kind.

what??? nobody said stainless steel yet?

more specifically, brushed stainless.

english? what the hell is english? this is america! clearly, we are speaking americanese

Leather, especially when woven into a whip.

stone ( & concrete)..but mostly stone.

Dryvit. It comes in so many pretty colors!

OOOOOOOOOOOh, sorry, dryvit is among my LEAST favorite

trespa.

cardboard, carbon fiber, dirt, cement. glass is cool too.

wood, especially mahogany and american black walnut,,, also, water (dunno if this could be a material for this category) but, have great ideas working with water.

also, those green foam used by flower decors, it's one of favorites to play with shaping them into interesting forms, although it can get quite messy....

douglas fir plywood
marine grade aluminum
concrete
cold rolled steel
and where would we be without white paint?

hydrocal is always a favorite on a smaller scale

on the larger scale good old 2x4's and homosote

i'm quickly going through my list of materials

did timber

now i'm mastering concrete

carbon fiber next - lol, no this is ridiculous i can't even do it with a str8 face

mashed potatoes

resin

Wood. It's oak or pine or cherry. It'spaintable, stainable, can be used as a center piece or structure.

pink vinyl siding.

or pink stucco.

SS

to look at/feel up: Have you ever walked under the MetLife building in New York? that yellowish, porous marble that lines the passageway is my wet dream.




to work with: concrete, mdf, homosote, resin, aluminum and good 'ol foam board

copper

recycled, laminated wood products

architecture helper...

paint, and lots of it!

vr's makes me want to put "serving suggestion" on my drawings.

well, i really don't like working with it because of all the dust, but beyond that its fairly workable. i also like the look of it, in its 'manufactured' texture and when it's sanded or cut. not too crazy about the smell though.

what is anthra zinc.....

people should probably provide links for some of these

that reminds me, rhinezinc has some really, really cool stuff. beautiful standing seam panels systems and rainscreens
