Many architects tend to prefer using materials and architectural elements in their natural or raw state. It is common to remove ceilings and finishings, especially in renovation projects, to expose a building's structure. This process of reclaiming the natural materials of construction - without incorporating elements to cover the framework, pipes, tubes, and cables - transforms these spaces into places that have nothing to hide.
However, to design projects with exposed structures requires some precautions. To ensure quality, performance, and durability of concrete structures, for example, one must pay attention to many details such as exposure to weather conditions, specification of coatings, rebar protection, placement of the formwork, and correction of imperfections.
