As a contributing writer, I enjoyed taking a deep dive into the history and variety of brick architecture and technologies for Brick by Brick: Architecture and Interiors Built with Bricks, a lovely book by Gestalten published in April 2022.
From the publisher’s description:
“The venerable brick is one of the oldest and most sustainable building materials in the world. It is simple yet versatile, modest yet resilient, global in usage yet local in appearance.
Recently, young architects have been rediscovering the circular use of brick and embraced its warm, aesthetic appeal to design some of the most exciting buildings of the day.”
