Certain materials are used to imply something apart from function. For example granite might imply wealth, although concrete would be functionally equivalent. Give three (3) other examples.

(Example: one consideration might be cost). Name at least three other considerations when recommending an appropriate material. For each item listed, explain why it should be considered important.
