Materiality
In the literal sense of word , materiality is the concept of or applied use of various materials or substances in the medium of building . It comes in shape and form or even the color of the texture . For example , the striation of the materials that can be touched by hand or differentiated by its textures such as wood compared with stone . Conventionally , the materiality of architecture exists in the collective effect of the visual , formal , acoustic and tactile qualities of the built materials under certain conditions of light , situation and time .
Immateriality
" Focusing on immaterial architecture as the perceived absence of matter more than the actual absence of matter " mentioned by Jonathan Hill in the article , immateriality is more into the realm of ideas or a formless phenomenon . The way to differentiate immateriality and materiality is " Immaterial is an idea where material is an object " . In other word , immaterial architecture is more a state of mind than a tectonic quality . For example , " Feng Shui " used in Chinese architecture or " Vastu Purusha Mandala " used in Indian architecture .
