Architecture is a field that encompasses the design and construction of buildings, structures and other types of built environments. Raw material is a term that refers to the components used to create a building or structure, such as steel, concrete, wood, glass, and other materials that are used to construct the building. Raw material also includes the parts of a building that are used in its construction, such as doors, windows, and other elements. Raw material can be bought in bulk from construction suppliers, or custom made for a specific project. Raw material also includes the elements that are used to create the interior design of a building, such as furniture, fixtures, and accessories.

Masonry is one of the oldest forms of architecture and involves the construction of structures from raw materials. In architecture, raw materials are unrefined products from natural sources that are used to create building components such as bricks, stones, cinder blocks, and concrete. Raw materials are generally characterized as having no or minimal processing and being in their natural state. In the context of masonry construction, raw materials are often cut into predetermined sizes and shapes to create structures with a specific look and feel. Raw materials are also often combined with other materials such as mortar, adhesives, and sealants to create a cohesive and strong structure.
