| Throughout the history of human development, the material is not only the material basis of human existence, but also the material carriers of human development, the material has been used as one of the important aspects of scientific research technology, "materials design" theory put forward by design means that we can be. "made’’new materials with specific decorative effect, which is the pursuit of the people’s long-term goal is not currently able to achieve. Any design can not be separated material, aesthetic and material on the choice of material design, the designers have experienced the artistic exploration process numerous times, as a branch of the art of design, materials, architectural design of how to use material design is also an important aspect for future development.In modern architectural design, architectural decoration materials influence growing, designers use a variety of design methods for materials processing, the nature of the surface properties of the material fully, making the material’s performance and architectural spaces complement each other, As the research and development of new materials, the possibility of expanding the designer selection and application of materials, emphasizing the natural attributes of designers focus on the material and texture, but also must pay attention to the meaning inherent in the material itself.This paper describes the development process of the background and decorative materials at home and abroad. Then start from the concept of decoration materials, decorative materials, describes the role, classification and evolution of their historical development, and focuses on the development status of China’s construction and decoration materials, decorative materials in the production process problems and decorative materials in construction driving factors in the design of application development. Secondly, summarized the role of decorative materials produced in the building design applications, is conducive to the city’s image display, urban health, improve the environment; But the drawback is to produce some pollution problems, lack of integrity, lack of innovation, design orientation bias and weak public participation and so on. Then on the building decoration materials design features elements were analyzed and summarized the decorative materials in architectural design principles to be followed in the design and workflow. Finally, a villa on Ningxiang decorative design application materials, decorative materials designed to fully grasp the main points in architectural engineering. |
