The iron fulfills the same advantages that the steel; his inflexibility gives force to the building. The concrete allows to cover the bricks and allows to design walls and slabs of multiple forms. Not so strong but very good materials are the brick and the plastic. The good brick to do walls and coatings and the plastic molded to any situation. I think that the major characteristics of these elements are his resistance and permanence because they make them be the principal materials to construct
