In my major project, I would like to use copper as the main material. Most of aesthetic, I wanted to use some kind of metal and believe that colour of copper is the best suitable to the shape which I am going to create. 

It is needed to know that using copper in architecture has a very long history. It is a decorative material, noble and also durable and reliable. Many old buildings have hundreds of years of coverage with this material. Today, you can admire them in concert halls, office buildings, museums, universities and banks.
Copper can be easily created, which gives great opportunities in shaping various and unique architectural forms. This colour is among others in natural colour, wood or natural stone. It is also successfully organized to decorate the interior. Given that her job is to learn and its benefits are more common. Copper used in architecture, outside the normal external surface, occurring in shapes, end plates and openings across. This gives architecture projects scenarios for the design of wall surfaces.

Here are some examples:

Penn State University School in Pennsylvania 



I am not sure yet, if it is a good choice, because copper turns quickly into patina, in other words, a change colour into blue, what is not welcome. However, it is one more advantage, because copper is 100% recyclable without a song in spite of quality. In volume, copper is first after iron and aluminum in a generally recovered metal. Thus if my project was not enjoyed, they still can recast it!
