The can be done with several materials, but the most common is wood and steel, where they use rectangular tubes or c-channels. Also, Architects have begun to experiment with pre-cut modular aluminum framing to reduce on-site construction costs and the time of construction.

There are two types of framed structures, the first one is the internal framed structure, and the second type is the external framed structures.

__ Internal framed structure: __ Is the one that you can’t see from the inside of the building, like in a room or any other space of the construction, this type of structure is hidden in the walls.

__ External Framed structure: __ Is the one where you are able to see the supports of the building from the inside and outside of it. Calatrava is one of the pioneers of the use of these structures, because he finds the way the building looks beautiful without hiding the structure.
