Bricks are Smart, but Architects Don't Listen
Will Quam of 'Brick of Chicago' takes us around the city to question architect Louis Kahn’s adage that all bricks are motivated to be arches. Here, in the Logan Square neighborhood, we find bricks of all sorts, that — in addition to arches — take on other configurations and metaphors to describe their qualities; textile bricks and diapering, brushstrokes of a painting, butter joints and glazes, soldiers and bullnoses. Will’s passion for bricks is infectious as he sets us straight in our biased assumptions. In the end, it is revealed how he is able to maintain such a close connection to this ubiquitous, overlooked, and often misunderstood building material. Visit 'Brick of Chicago' (www.brickofchicago.com) for tours by Will to learn more about bricks and follow his Instagram @brickofchicago for beautiful imagery that reframes how we view the city.
