Applied Research Of The Plastic Used In Architectural Design

As an artificial plasticity material, plastic has been used in construction for a long time. Plastic has wide varieties and different characteristics. Nevertheless good plasticity is their common ground. In addition, the features of lightweight, inexpensive and easy to mass production industrialized make the plastic to be the most promising new material. However, advantages and disadvantages of the things like a double-edged sword which is always dialectically existent. Although plastic is ubiquitous as its high-performance and ordinary identity, it is the material which is also most likely to be ignored and misused. Plastic has been used for many years but is still outside the "large-scale" building materials ranks. This article is going to cast back the development path of the plastic material historically, analyze qualities of plastic material when it is used in construction, as well as understand the architectural thought and social background behind these phenomena. All these efforts which is mentioned before are in order to find out the materiality of plastic when it is used as building materials, the impact on building producers、users and the architecture itself, and momentous significance of plastic. By the article, it hopes to promote the development of plastic as building materials. At the same time, it expects to promote the development of plastic.
