Specifications
The brick is one of the most durable and widespread building materials in the world. Traces of brick cooking date back to 7500 BC, and fired brick appeared around 3500 BC. Since then, the reliable brick has shown incredible durability and remains one of the main pillars of modern architecture. Rooted in tradition in countries such as China and the Netherlands, it is economical, versatile in use, and can also be produced ecologically.
This extensive volume explores the world by covering the most exciting and innovative brick buildings constructed over the last 35 years, from Paraguay to New Zealand. It also includes new talents such as Sanchit Arora from RENESA, as well as established star architects like Renzo Piano and Peter Zumthor. The examples of buildings showcase the variety of brick applications in cultural, residential, infrastructural, and recreational spaces, including the Tate Modern Switch House in London by Herzog & de Meuron, the Boa School Restaurant by D’Houndt + Bajart in Lille-Lomé, and the Maternity Waiting Village by MASS Design in Kasungu, Malawi.
