One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.
Classification of building materials
Classification of building materials is fundamental for selecting the right material for a given application. Students must master the main categories—natural vs synthetic, inorganic vs organic, structural vs non‑structural, and load‑bearing vs non‑load‑bearing—along with the key performance criteria that guide these choices.
