• Sarimanok - favorite subject matter of sculptor Abdulmari Imao.
• Stone- It can only be carved, drilled, abraded, and polished
• Wood- lends itself to the same processes although modern technology permits it to be permanently bent and molded.
• wood - It is appealing to its grain, its color, and its origin in living tree. The disadvantage of wood lie in its dimensional instability- its tendency to warp or crack especially when wet
• Metals- can be cast, cut, drilled, filled, extrude, bent forged and stamped. Bronze has beautiful surface and color and is the most common casting material.
• Terracotta or clay - is more responsive than wood or stone. However, it possesses little strength in tension or compression and requires an armature for support
• Resin- sculpture that is a piece of three-dimensional art that has been cast using fiberglass resin. It is fairly lightweight. It is a durable material that can be painted and glazed to look like stone, porcelain, bronze or marble.
• Modeling - are created with a soft or malleable materials such as clay, it is built using an armature and then shape to create form. It is an additive process
• Carving - involves cutting or chipping away a shape from a mass of stone, wood, or other hard material.
• carving - subtractive process where the materials is systematically eliminated from the outside.
• Casting- manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape and then allowed to solidify
• Assembling- an additive process using adhesive, welding and other chemical for adhesion.
• Monolithic Sculpture- carved from a slab of stone and is limited by the materials shape and size.
• Constructivism- popular among contemporary artists. It makes use of new materials such as plastics, plexiglass, metal wire, etc. , allows a break from the figurative representation of sculpture.

• Contemporary Architecture ➢ a form of construction that embodies the various styles of building designs stemming from a wide range of influences.
• classic materials used in architecture - wood, stone and brick.
• modern materials - cast-iron, structural steel and reinforced concrete
• Cast-iron - has good compressive strength and was successfully used for structural components that were largely in compression in well designed bridges and buildings.
• Structural steel- is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes.
• Reinforced concrete in which steel is embedded in such a manner that the two materials act together in resisting forces
• Post-and-Lintel - the most ancient of construction device and still enjoys wide use today. Consists of two vertical supports bridged by a horizontal beam.This is usually used to hold up a roof, creating a largely open space beneath, for whatever use the building is designed.
• Cantilever- is the horizontal extension of a beam or slab into space beyond its supporting post. Its free end is supported, and the point where it rests on its post acts like the fulcrum or a lever.
