Brickwork: Architecture & Design by Andrew Plumridge and Wim Meulenkamp
Formed from the earth itself, and used as early as 5,000 years ago, brick has stood the test of time as a key element in design and decoration.
Sumptuous color photos of buildings traditional and modern, meticulous drawings of a variety of brickwork, and a consideration of brick construction worldwide combine to tell the history of this remarkably resilient and attractive material.
On beautiful display are the myriad designs possible with brick (including splendid carvings and rubbings), brickmaking techniques, and brickwork as a major structural component of everything from walls to cathedrals.
In addition, a full technical reference covers the construction process, different brick types and bonds, structural information on buttresses, corbelling, cornices, preservation, and more.
Published/Edition: October 2000. ISBN/Book No.: 1841880396
