What type of materials used should be as little as possible?

Use a variety of materials such as wood, brick, stone, glass, exposed concrete, or steel can also appear pure. Exposure to the dominance of certain materials would produce different effects. Design and calculation of the detailed structure can save the use of building materials with optimum results.

Resolutions ranging from floors, walls, doors, windows, vents, skylights, ceiling, to the roof, with a combination of material usage consistently. Order (concrete, steel), walls (glass, wood, concrete plain / exposure, steel, stone, brick, hebel, brick), doors and windows (wood, metal), stairs (concrete, steel, wood, fiberglass) , skylights (fiberglass), floor (cement, terrazzo, ceramic, marble, parquet), ceiling (plywood, gypsum) or without ceiling (exposed concrete, exposed steel roof truss, wood) and roof (tile, shingle, steel).
