About the Course:
A vast proportion of classical and traditional architecture is constructed of brick, one of the oldest and most enduring of building materials. Brick bonds and details lend character and interest to buildings. Yet many architects overlook the value of brickwork as a design resource, too often relying on mechanical veneers. Using many illustrations, this course examines different brickwork styles found on American buildings from the colonial period into the twentieth century. The discussion will include European origins, regional styles, brick manufacturing, mortar joint types, as well as decorative details.
